Anyone know what goes here? 1975 dash (1 Viewer)

[Goebeler]

I have had this cruiser for over 20 years. Had the opening when I purchased the cruiser and now I am hoping to see what can fill it.
If you look closely it is round with a flat bottom portion. So guessing factory vs a drilled hole.

Look just to the right of the speedo and down.

Thank you for feedback.

Pretty sure that gets a rubber plug.

Same blank hole on mine

@Goebeler Is your rig a 74? That hole was home to a vacuum shift front drive indicator light. Guessing you have floor shift 4x4 stick.

Here's @Living in the Past 10/75 dash with plug as brian mentioned

No clue... I have my vacuum shift indicator close to there, but it is well left of the hole you show...

Here's mine, greenish indication lens... pay no attention to the SBC looking cluster, it has since been replaced...

 

[Goebeler]

My cruiser is a 75. Essentially stock besides suspension and taller tires.

Maybe a hole that had a purpose for the prior year and plugged in 75. Ant clue where you cab find a factory looking plug?

My guess is hand throttle for rigs that came with PTO?

 

[bikersmurf]

Hand throttle goes below the dash.
My ‘74 had an empty hole as did others. I can’t remember if it had a plastic plug in it when I put an indicator light in there 23 years ago

I have an early 75....no hole.
I thought I had that sticker over it...but dont believe so now.

My 74’ manual lists it’s the spot for the 4wd control switch (optional everywhere else but USA) magnet type transfer case

@Goebeler i believe city racer has some. City Racer LLC

Thank you guys! Thinking I am going to source the OEM dash plug and see if I like that look. Sure don’t like the hole now that I removed a stereo control for hidden stereo.

I have to agree. Does it show a spot for the 4WD light?

Would be a good location for the OEM fog light switch. Was wondering if the Middle East had the same dash. Both LHD. There the fog lights seem almost to be standard.

I see that the 4wd control switch has a bulb..., I use the spot for rear heater switch

Interestingly the upper plug next to the cigarette lighter is not labeled on the manual

I never understood Toyota's reasoning for doing away with a separate rear heater switch in the 74 on. Shows they brought it back in the 81 model for the first few months then went back to high speed on the front blower would turn on the rear heater blower. Just like 74-80.

 

[Goebeler]

Measured hole ay 13.9 mm
Sound about right?

 

[mattcamp]

I think your finger goes in there, could be wrong though.

 

[cruiserboy14]

I’ve seen a switch there to turn on the factory tow package lights. I just have a switch there in mine. It’s not hooked up.
