Chrome handle on floor??

Has anyone seen one of these chrome handles before? Whatever it was hooked to is no longer there anymore.

I think that lever controls the oil-dump for when the bad guys are chasing you. Just pull the lever and the oil makes them slide into the ditch, flip over, and burst into a ball of flames while you speed away with the cute female side-kick.

I was thinking ejection seat... or "sewer dump while driving". (...it is on a 69 Custom Camper).

Hone-o-drive. My 68 camaro has same lever. A lot of Baldwin motion cars had these, with steep gear end gears.

Looks like I'm crawling underneath tomorrow morning. Part of me wants to drive over there now in the dark, but it might freak out the neighbors or dad might whip out the pellet gun.

Crawled underneath today. No luck. Would have been a sweet find if it was still there.
