Gotta have the gun rack in the back window.
Cheap sun glasses

Four empty cans of "Hamms" and a bottle of "Bubble-Up"!

Did they ever produce an "air freshener" in the shape of a Chevy Bowtie back then ? ? Mmmmmmm......

You guys forget the wind up tattletale clock on the dash with the little wiggling needle that recorded when the truck was moving and when a door was slammed etc.? then the "High Tech" ones that had a speed line where you could lay a cigarette between the door glass and the needle and the speed would not go over 55 MPH, and the miles counter that went up every five miles then down the next five miles and so on and so on? and the spinner knob with the Vargus girl's picture under the clear plastic knob? abd the blue tinted sunscreen or the electric defroster that attached with vacuum cups, and the small fan blowing inyour face with the gray rubber blades? Also the piece of broomhandle with the notch to hold the footfeed to the floor (Kansas Cruise control?)
Ya!

This wasn't on the dash but how about the 5" piece of broom handle attached to a short piece of chain on the big old air horn's valve.

This wasn't on the dash but how about the 5" piece of broom handle attached to a short piece of chain on the big old air horn's valve. In a 54 Mack B73 with a big old Cummins 250.......

How about the Hawaiian dancing girl with the grass skirt and the bobbing head that was stuck to the top of the dash board?

Where is that beat up old Thermos with that awfull tasteing coffee in? you know the stuff that the called mud ,sludge and all the good stuff .

And......then there is that garter belt hanging from the mirror from the ex-girl friend that you remember sooooooooo well! :p

Yeah! or a well worn dog collar You know the kind with the silver spikes sticking out and the big old silver buckle!

Quiet! Don't tell anybody, but Elvira wears one and she gave it to me to hang from the mirror of my pickup. Funny thing....the wife hasn't noticed it yet!! :p

How about a metal tag on the license plate that says SAFE SIDE (arrow pointing left) and SUICIDE (arrow pointing right)??

We had names for our trucks Wanda, The Smoker, Burtha, Corn Binder, The "T" or Reo and The Turtle.

Dad's 28 what would a truck be without a name? just a hunk of metal, glass and rubber. Ours are Tahoebelle, a 2001 Tahoe, Old blu' a 95 1/2 ton, Biggn'a long bed 3/4 ton extended cab, and the peanut truck,a 57 Chevy C6500 is Gobberbelle,

Lil Johnny, what a neat idea for everyone's input! Lotta fun to read!

How 'bout a sat-on Dexadrine box?

Suicide knob, vacuum column mount defroster fan, compass, traffic light viewer [ for outside sunvisor equipped trucks ], door pocket to store log books, Sig Stat mechanical directional arm, rear view mirror arms that are 3 feet long & vibrate so bad the mirrors are useless, dont forget the 2 speed axle splitter switch,running board step plates with a sandpaper coating to prevent ya from ending up on your butt when it rains.

Of course running boards, when I was a kid (1930s) we used to pass trucks on a pass out side of Billings Montana, during the summer the driver would be standing on the running board with one arm inside the cab steering probably had a throttle cable to the carb or the previously mentioned stick to hold the throttle to the floor.

We must not forget about the old 45 RPM record players that were mounted under the dash either! They were cool little units....and fairly cheap back then. Now, a new old stock unit on eBay will go for about $800 big ones! Ouch!
