My grandfather had a really old pickup/dump truck that had the foot starter switch... Pretty sure it had a manual choke too!!

had a 63 Chevy Nova - high beam switch on the floor - wing windows - manual choke - 3 speed on the column - that's what I learned to drive in

[LIST]
[*]the front bumper was tied on with rope
[*]I worked the windshield wipers by pulling on a rope that was tied to the wiper arms - came in through the driver's wing window - you pulled on the rope when it was raining
[*]there was a hole in the floor on the front passenger side - you could see the pavement through it - about a foot wide - I placed a piece of plywood over it so you could sit in that seat - only issue with that was every time I went through a puddle the water would splash up - hit the muffler & turn to steam which then filled up the car if I didn't have any windows open
[*]the 3 speed shift nob/rod thing on the column snapped off about 3 inches from the column & I used a vice grip on the nub that was left to shift
