What's this dial for?
Can someone tell me what this dial is for? It was not connected to anything when I removed the dash.
Thanks 1969 c10 |

I don't think that's stock. Maybe an owner add on?

That dial is for the speed warning indicator in the speedometer. Turn the dial to a specific speed and when it hits that speed a buzzer under the dash sounds. I believe it was 67 and 68 only option

I believe it is part of your optional Speed Minder speedometer. The knob is supposed to move the second needle on the speedometer.(Yours is pointing to 55 MPH) Here is a link to one of many posts on them. It's supposed to warn you if you exceed the set mph. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=693557 For more information type Speed Minder in the search box above and click 67-72 button.

I have that option in my 63 Grand Prix and the knob looks the same. Mounted under the dash.
