That looks to be an original type heater blower or fog light switch. Although it may have come from a car, or been an after-market copy. The one's I've seen were darker, and the top side of the switch (flipper, for lack of a better idea) was labled as to what it controlled.
Is it a single switch, or double. The heater switch in my 52 is a double switch, with high being on first, and low being one notch down.
Hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 363 Member | | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 363 | looks like the heater switch in both my trucks and my car | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 422 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 422 | | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,969 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,969 | Looks just like the heater switch in my 50 pickup.

The guy wants/needs an answer to his question.  This was an option for your year model truck, ya had to pay extra for this. It is to engage/disengage your muffler bearings. Engage when you are going up a steep incline.

Looks like a heater switch,i had a 1951 chevy truck years ago that had a heater hooked up to a switch just like that.It was not original for the truck, but it worked great.
