What is this?
I've got four pictures in my Odds n Ends picture album linked to my profile.
Can anyone tell me what these things are?
1. Two 1" diameter threaded posts about 1/4" tall on the roof of the cab (photo shows only one)
2. Some unusual mount on the front bumper
3. Some unusual mounts by the side mirrors (one on each side, photo shows passenger side)
4. Above the bright light foot switch is another switch just like it. Wires unconnected. Whats the switch for?

1) looks like a pair of spotlights were previously mounted there?
2) i'm not sure, looks like it may fold over into a recessed pocket?
3) maybe mounts for dual CB antenna whips?
4) dimmer switch used to operate above mentioned spotlights?

The second dimmer switch is a previous owner hack job. It had to have been for some custom, special purpose that didn't stay for good. Only the previous owner would be able to tell you what it actually would have been used for.
The same would go for the brackets - unless someone can think of something common that they would have been used for.

for the weird mount beside the mirrors, it has two holes, one on each side, that means that a pin went through it for some reason. Maybe it had something that folded up or down.
for the bumper mount, it looks like a fog light mount, same as object above, with an up and down swivel.
