What's this lever?

[Cutter]

Thats the passenger communication lever which flashes a light on the dash in morse code to allow conversation at high way speeds.

Deploys the chute in the unlikely event that you are going too fast?

Cigarettes & dip vs. Rover parts...I chose parts

Cigarettes & dip...

What dip goes best with cigarettes? French onion? Guacomole?

I can't believe that no one picked up on the fact that there is a big R on the knob. Obviously, R is for race.

[gudjeon]

I was thinking 'R' for "Real Fast".

[stonefox]

The "R" must stand for repair.You pull it back and a tool kit pops out

I think everybody's just passing time, waiting of the OP to get to his Rover and snap a pic of the underside...

[LaneRover]

If it was Amcordo's truck it would stand for Redhead.

Of course with many of the redheads I know the lever is most likely used to both get her in AND get her out.

We're hanging here!!

Being FFR, I would think that your truck used to have a PTO winch or rear PTO or rear PTO winch. The knob probably came of something else to replace a broken mushroom type and the winch/rear PTO was probably removed when the truck was put out of service.
