Hello bolters, I have a question about the dash on my 56. What goes in the three holes above the radio? On my truck the center hole is a cigarette lighter socket. The others have nothing, but look like they are for some sort of switches? Its a standard cab, 4400 work truck. No heater, no radio. Thanks!

From left to right, wiper switch, lighter, hand throttle. GM used plugs that have a similar shape as the knobs to fill the holes if the truck didn't have the options, same plugs as used for the radio delete knob holes.

For using PTO powered equipment or to put it in granny in a pasture while you get in the bed and spread hay. Not for highway use.
