    I was put in a different truck today and have never seen this on a truck I've driven before? It can flap up but doesn't have anything to keep in a level position... what's it called and what's it for? 1476190774006616887840.jpg

    It's just a shiny option to make a rusted multi colored truck look better. The other use is for IFTA sticker

    It looks like a fuel tank with a step sewe'd on to it and the flap is for extra support.. maybe.

    It's for driver's that are height challenged, so they can comb their hair before entering the cab.

    Cool idea. I'm going to put one of those on mine and label it "No Step"
