My 1948 Chevy pickup had a floor mounted starter switch.
If this is an old vehicle, perhaps starter and high beams.

Not just a target rich environment, a sitting duck target rich environment. The USAF could eat that convoy up in a heartbeat. It would be like the "Highway of Death" in Kuwait. I saw the results first hand a couple of days after it happened. It was not pretty.

And yet we are not sending some A10s which were designed for this situationhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1646522753.jpg

I have a 1968 Dodge D100 truck and it has the high beam switch on the floor like that and a little higher up it has the windshield washer foot pump thing also, but it looks like a rubber bulb thing.

This is the only known photo of this famous ending portion of the show that gives us a look at how it was staged. I think ‘Laugh In’ came from NBC Burbank Studio 3, but over the years, could have been done in more than one location there.

One is for the high beams the other one controls the "seek/next station' feature on the radio. Common on mid 70s to mid 80s Chrysler high line cars.. (New Yorker, etc..)

Interesting! I've owned or worked on several antiques with foot switches for low/high beams (mostly 30s and 40s vintages) but never knew that anyone adopted foot switches for other purposes.

My current antique (1938 Buick) has one of these switches for high/low and starter is also foot actuated, but not via one of these switches... To start the car you insert the key, turn a switch on the column to make the ignition hot, then pump the gas pedal once to start the engine. There is a switch attached to the carb which is actuated by the movement of the throttle, and also cuts off (stops sending juice to the starter) once there is sufficient vacuum moving through the carb to indicate the engine is running. Pretty neat design.

Thanks Craig and Kach. I remember the first time I watched the show.

1,911 miles of track had been laid when workers of the Central Pacific Railroad met those of the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory on May 10, 1869. With the driving of the last spike travel across North America was reduced from six months to just about one week.

This should be in the pics that I took thread, but whatever.

We have a small plot in the middle of our property where there used to be a barn. At some point while the PO had the property a storm came through and damaged the barn. Someone came along and offered to take the barn the rest of the way down if they could have whatever wood they wanted. The PO put barbed wire around the plot. It's got a big pile of wood and crap, and then other detritus (wood, metal, concrete, etc...) laying around that's grown over with grass, poison ivy, etc.... The wife has been out the past two weekends trying to clean the plot out (wants to turn it into a garden). I wasn't too worried last weekend because it was cold, but this weekend it was warm, so I was a little worried about her running into snakes. I've convinced her that there's probably too many snakes in the big wood pile to move it, so we'll burn it in place. Yesterday, just moving a few odd boards here and there I ran across 5 or 6 snakes (lost count) and all but one of them were copperheads. In the past year, I've probably seen 5-6 snakes, and at least 2 of them were copperheads.

This is one of the guys that I ran across yesterday. He's probably the biggest that I've run across (his head is the biggest that I've seen). Fortunately, copperheads are relatively small snakes. If they were 5-6' long with big heads, they'd be a lot more scary.

The wife and I went to the Minneapolis Institute of Art a couple weeks ago.
Seems like the land of 10,000 lakes doesn't have clean enough water for them, so they have to bring it all the way from Italy.

I would rather it be purified in the waters of lake Minnetonka.
