What’s This Part?

[Saltie Olds]

Building my Project Terminator build, I have this part that I have no idea on what it is. Does anyone know what it is?

You are going to have to provide more information about the kit.

 

Google brings up this?

I’m working on the AMT International Transtar CO-4070A.

If I was able to find one of those in 1/25 scale, or 3” tall, I would be putting one of them into the drivers seat of my truck.

Looks like an ash tray to me but I am unfamiliar with trucks

Cool, Thank You. That’s what I’ve been thinking. I’ve thought about just leaving it out, just because of that idea, or possibility.

I found out it’s a cup holder insert. Thank You for those who helped

That part of the truck looks like it could be had with a few options. This pic shows what looks like an astray, you can see the little dips around the rim, then the second pic shows that spot with a radio.

The IH brochure calls it a “built in ashtray.” Notice in the second picture posted with the radio the the ashtray is on the dash.

Great, Thank You. Then I’ll go ahead and leave it out of the truck.

I had to look through the dusty windshield of my ancient build to see if I installed that same part because I have a vague recollection of having no idea what it was. Didn't know what it was until seeing this thread! Sure enough, I just painted the recessed area silver, probably because I thought it was something to be used to drop keys and coins in.
