What were 3/4 of the gages for and what were 7/10 of the switches for?

The toggle switch on the lower left raises the driver side suspension to make it level and the toggle on the upper right keeps the truck from rusting. Let's not forget the centrally located toggle that will parallel park the truck.

Here is the most important question. Which one doesn't do anything?

Are they connected to anything, or are they just switches??? And gauges?? I count at least 12 gauges, I have a friend with an airplane with fewer than that. 
Switch/instrumentation fetish. Sick bastidges!
That's it! Swishfetish!

The thing is pretty crazy. he has gauges to monitor EVERYTHING! Diff temps, cases, oil, fluid, electronics, fuel, exhaust, manifold and muffler, etc etc. Then he has systems to monitor suspension articulation, inclinometer, then monitors to how much stress various parts of the truck were seeing, etc etc. It's mind boggling, the dude is an engineer and just went off. The gauges are all aircraft quality, great stuff. There are 56 engraved plaques on this thing for labels!
The truck has a 350 V8 plus dual bottle nitrous!!
