    That's a great picture. When I started driving in the late 60s most of the trucks I drove had those. They didn't have much else...tach, oil pressure, and water temp usually worked. Anything else was considered a bonus.

    What I'd like to see is a picture of the old wig-wag turn signal arm that was mounted on the outside of the cab. Other than in truck museums I don't see those any more.

    These worked way better in my opinion then a little red light that one cant see from the glare from all the glass. I drove a couple trucks that had these. A 60 KW cabover and a 54 Freightliner.
