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

Re: What is this for?
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. And welcome aboard.

You're welcome.

Re: What is this for?
Well technically I removed the gague cluster not the entire dash. I'm slowing going through the vehicle and I started with a American Autowire update kit. The truck is solid but has some of the typical rust and neglect from sitting over the years prior to my purchase. It does have a neat story though. The truck was purchased new by the original owner for his father who drove the truck until he passed away. The son/orginal purchaser then drove the truck here and there as well as his children until he passed away. His wife let the truck sit for about 7 years and was tired of looking at it reminding her of him and sold it to me as a project for my son and I to work on.

Re: What is this for?
I've read where you're not supposed to set it below 20 mph, don't know why!, but I don't let my grandsons play with it
Should have a cable from the knob to the back speedometer face, they show up in the classifieds every now and then

Re: What is this for?
Nice truck. I don't believe that I have ever seen that color before. I like it. Definitely a nice find.
