dash knobs

[todd67]

to the left of the column are the wipers ignition switch and headlights, to the right of the column are choke and the lighter. but i've got a hole in the dash for another knob between the choke and the column and i don't know what was supposed to be there. i've got a 67 250 custom. any ideas?

Hazard lights?

The hazard light switch was mounted in the glovebox for the '67s. The extra hole would have been for a cargo light. The same dash was used for all trucks, so the hole that would normally have been used for the cargo light switch would have been covered with a chrome plug.

Heck, my '67 didn't have a cargo light, and it STILL had a cargo light switch mounted there!

thanks for the help. there is a mark in the paint where there was a bezel and due to the previous owners use of the truck, it would explain why the cargo lamp was removed.

Keith my 67 does have the emerg flasher mounted in the dash??
I'll try to post a pic of it soon. It came this way when I bought it.

The in-dash hazard switches weren't used until '70, so if yours has one, it's had some replacement parts by a previous owner. He probably installed a '70-up harness and then added the switches. There should be a small white ribbon in several places on the harness, which will have a part number. See what the first two digits of the harness is....and maybe see if it appears as if the later switch was adapted to the early harness. If it's a '67 harness, the PN will start out 'C7'.

This is kind of late, but I have a '67 F-250 CC also, and where your hole is, is my manual choke.
