Looks like you have a hand brake coming off the dash. Could that be a PTO lever?
Also what is the round thing on top of the dash/

Back on topic.
Hope the pictures help you out Sweepleader!

The Cabs were for the most part the same from 1960 til the end of production (1985?)...

The Hand Parking Brake is the silver knob next to the gear shift lever and the black round knob is the winch control (In - Out), the PYO was also on the console and was a standard cable operated red PTO knob.

The round thing on top of the dash is an electric trailer brake rheostat with manual lever. The controller would be set for the load and in a panic you would pull the lever to get instant help in braking, just like the car and small truck set-ups.

Sweep, John Bean normally installed a separate Sun Tach for the fire control panel, it would have a control box mounted somewhere near the engine...

Lets see some pictures of the truck!
