...your just not used to an old Chevy yet!!
BTW, I've seen Reverse everywhere. I had a '62 GMC 5-Speed and Reverse was Up and to the Right.

Pull out at the top to tilt it out. They can be somewhat stiff. If you push down on the snuffer (the "ring" on the top whenyou pull the ashtray out), then continue to pull on the top, it will come out of the dash. That was to allow for cleaning it put. The other one next to the glocebox door is a filler plate. On trucks with the deluxe heater, the controls, which are similar to the '55-'56 Passenger controls, would go in that hole. Base heater or delete option trucks got the blank off plate. Since that one has a switch in it, it looks like it got a dealer installed heater. That was a common place for them to put the switch either dealer install or aftermarket (my '55 was the same way).

This truck has been sitting for God only knows how long, and the ash tray seems to not want to move...
Was last updated on the stickers in '74.
My dad just called me on the phone & told me he pulled the seat out of the truck. (I'm not with my dad at the moment)
And he said he found all the tools from the factory to work on the truck, such as the tire iron etc..
Also found some magazines from '67.
As well as a rat & this rat, made it's nest in the seat. (Which is why my dad pulled it, to have it recovered & cleaned good)
He also found one orginal mirror for the truck, under the seat.
Next time I go out there, I'll take pictures of what he found...
