Uhmmmm ... I'm glad I'm old ... 😐

Think about it. Where is it located compared to the dimmer switch?

I guess I would say it's just the usual pedals but they're round.

I'll see your 4 pedal for this Two "dimmer".

I have personally driven vehicles with the floor mounted dimmer switch, but I've never seen one where a second switch was located so near the clutch pedal. The vehicles that I drove had the dimmer switch closer to the left "wall" of the floorboard and further up than where either of these are located.

Question: is that upper switch activated when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way to the floor? My thought is that it doesn't necessarily have to be a switch controlling the high and low beams of the headlights.

Starter switch!

I actually liked the floor mounted dimmer switch better than the ones now.

Me too and the fresh air vent next to it you could kick open with your foot. Just big enough to hold a pint.

Yep start switch
Remember the Buicks that had them under the gas pedal?

Yes!

The old 50 & 51 Chevys we had on the farm had those too.

I think Dad's pickup was an International and the starter button was just to the right of the accelerator. One could have their right foot on both the accelerator and the start switch at the same time. I did find this picture online, although I can't say it is of an International.

Looks like my old 57 Chevy half ton.
