    I found this on ebay. Looks to be a nice original Tux Park. However there are two "things" on the dash that stick back into the interior that I have no idea what they could be for. Any help/ideas from anyone?

    It also looks like the column shift is gone, if it ever had one..........Did they all have a column shift from the factory?

    :v6: = floor shift. The shifter appears to have a bent configuration. Mine is straight. I agree that the huge thing protruding from the dash looks like alight. Nice tux. Might have to get a red top for mine when it's done. Eeeee. That's gonna be tough to take.

    I learned something today.....only the 4 cylinders were column shift.........

    I agree it looks like it could be a light, but why would there be two? If you look closely, you can see another one between the steering wheel and the door.....dunno...

    I don't think they're lights because of the way they flatten out where they're attached to the dash. As flat as they are I don't think you could run wiring through them. JMO

    in the floor pics, you can see the stock mount for the gun
    in the pic it's hard to tell, but I believe the dash mounts are Y to accept the rifle barrel
    has to be gun mounts

    Certainly looks that way. It looks like a loop and a little catch to hold it together.
