What’s that for.?

[Josep66]

Hi guys, just asking here what those interruptor and hole were intended for.? Are they made post production.?

Thanks,

Could be for rotating amber warning light (convoy light)

You mean the left socket.? How about the right switch.? Aftermarket.?

I was referring to the switch only.

Oh! OK. Does it looks original to the truck..? I will ask my friend (previous owner) and maybe he knows something about it.

Not original.

 

[Josep66]

Not original.

That’s what it looked to me

Looks to me like a light switch that was added later. 99.9% of all toggle switches I've seen that Uncle Sugar installed had a tag explaining its function.

This is a switch for floodlights from a bridging truck:

That makes sense and the switch moves in the same directions. Can I get somewhere the plate behind.? Where the floodlights were located.?

On a bridge truck they were located on the "headache" rack behind the cab.

On my deuce, I mounted them on the rear with the swivels to act as reverse lights/rear floods.
