Strangest things found in new project dashes
I could not find another thread on weird stuff found inserted in the dashes on these projects when found and brought home. I am not sure if this will show up very good but this 3/4 ton pickup I hauled to my property yesterday actually had a nice dash cluster but on the left side had an altimeter. Never have I ever seen one in any truck, nor do I have any idea why. What was originally in the third large hole on the left?

I like the high tech custom wiper control.

Yeah, no kidding. He must have liked making those little plastic strips to remind him what every knob and switch were for.

Re: Strangest things found in new project dashes
3rd hole on the left was for an air pressure gauge on the big trucks, or sometimes a vacuum gauge.

Adam West would have been proud to have that 'Bat-O-Meter'.
