Re: Who knows what these are for?

Looks like something the PO put in. I would trace the wires to were they go.

Re: Who knows what these are for?

DEFINITELY not factory so we would have no idea what they are for. I suggest, like Daddy Brim, that you trace the wires and see where they go.

Ejection seat. Make sure no one you like is sitting in the passenger seat when you test it.

Re: Who knows what these are for?

the left one is the electric pump switch for the used muffler bearing grease refill. I think the right one is for the headlamp Halogen fluid refill.

Re: Who knows what these are for?

Are those push button switches or fuse holders beside the lights? Looks like push button switches for power. Did the truck have a camper shell?

Re: Who knows what these are for?

I feel like a douche man.. lol. Didn't mean to get anything started.

Seriously, It might be auxiliary gas tanks, lights on the bumper etc. I was just playing around.


Welcome to the forum btw.

Re: Who knows what these are for?

Its cool though.. whoever put them in took a lot of time and effort to make them look factory.

No harm intended. Let us know what theyre for if you find out. We need some pictures of the truck too though.

Are there two more lights on the metal bracket bolted to the heater box?

Do you have a pic of the back side?

Yes there is two more lights below. Try to get picture of the back tomorrow.

Reason I posted this was that the top set of lights were on a painted bracket.

Re: Who knows what these are for?

It's a 71 2wd. Original owner was provincial government in B.C. It had some sort of canopy type thing on the back with a intercom system. And had an auxiliary fuel tank at one point as well. I'll read through this log book a little closer see what it says.
