Switch Under Dash

Long time, first time...

Got a 1950 F3 back from the 10-20 year dead the other day and running and driving nice.

I was wondering what this switch under the dash is for? I cannot figure it out and I lose the wires.

TIA

Much thanks. Truck is about 25 years overdue for a bath and then I will get some photos.

No, it just has 25 years worth of 'Character'.

I'd scrape that 25 year road dust off carefully and put it in a bottle because it is genuine vintage road dust. Harder to find than rocking horse turd, and much more desirable.
