What did you do to your truck today?

Accompanied by one of my grand daughters, took the truck out for a ride and picked up a double pole, double throw momentary toggle switch for the new cutout system. The kits all seem to include a rocker switch would look out of place in my truck.

I was wondering that myself! The original plan was always to operate the cutouts from the 3rd switch under the red safety covers. Like in Young Frankenstein (Not the 3rd switch)!!

Now that it's actually going to happen, I'm realizing the safety cover is going to interfere with easy operation, and with 6 wires needing to go into a small area (the old ashtray housing is still in place) it would be a real pita to modify the existing circuits. So, I found another spot next to the 3 gauge under dash panel that's easy to access and already has an abandoned switch hole in place. It’s a standard chrome metal toggle switch, but its wearing one of the flexible rubber waterproof boots simply to minimize visibility:



It’s so stealth it’s hard to photograph:
