I already asked Dino what it was, he says security key; but I haven't been able to find any other information, anybody else have any? The truck didnt come with keys, so I have no clue.. here's a pic of the location:

its only in the drivers' side as well.

Not a stock option. Looks like something added by a previous owner. What is on the backside? Is it accessible by taking of the cowl extension?

suzq044 · 01-26-2008, 04:40 AM

i have no idea.. as it is currently at the impound lot thx to catch-22 law making.

Yup thats it . it was used to "arm" the alarm with a key. Used to be real comen in the late 70's

suzq044 · 01-26-2008, 05:31 AM

towed because it wasnt registered
it was registered non-op, so no sticker to show for it.

greasy68 · 01-26-2008, 05:47 AM

Sorry to hear about the impounding. I would have never guessed the alarm key. BTW the paint around it is interesting.......Let's see a picture of the whole truck.

suzq044 · 01-26-2008, 05:49 AM

lol; its got a gay, wanna-be cammo all over it; thanks to the former owner and his sons, it was the lime-green with an astroturf roof when they got it free - here's a before/after:

kris's66lwb · 01-26-2008, 06:14 AM

they still use them on school buses to lockthe boors and arm the alarm from the outside but they dont need to cuz whose gonna steal a bus

suzq044 · 01-26-2008, 06:31 AM

lol i unno.

1LoC10 · 01-26-2008, 06:47 AM

we had a car in the 80's with that on the fender.. it didnt work when we bought it, so cant tell ya how it works

cdowns · 01-26-2008, 07:07 AM

yes early alarm system commonly refered to as a "chapman lock" sort of a generic term back then

ClassicAutoResto · 01-26-2008, 09:47 AM

Sure it wasn't a COIN operated truck? Use the key to open the fender and take out the change........

suzq044 · 01-26-2008, 03:12 PM

cute - no, its not a gum-ball machine :P

greasy68 · 01-27-2008, 02:00 AM

It cracks me up to see the before paint scheme.......I am always surprised to see what POs do to these beutiful trucks. You have to ask yourself what the people were thinking when they decided to paint the truck lime green, white, gray, brown camo.

suzq044 · 01-27-2008, 04:14 AM

it originally was a white truck from the factory; the lime green and astroturf "hair" was, i figure, a result of its era.. lol.. the camo, probably more someone bored as hell, and had kids that wanted to join in. It's now complete with bass (the fish) sticker on the driver door. lol
