    I wonder if we could get anyone (with or works in a machine shop) to make a nice aluminum switch panel to mount there....just seems like a good place.

    Yea. Not very useful. If it was just a little deeper, a license and gas card, or pack 100s, cigarettes, could fit.

    A little wider and my wallet could fit...

    But I don't use it currently... Have wondered the intention of it...

    We had a long thread on this a month or so ago. It was pretty interesting. Chap stick, change, whatever. Kind of small, but people found uses. Reminds me, I just took a 3,700 mile trip and placed a few pieces of used, wrapped up chewing gum in there that I need to take out. Haven't cleaned out the truck yet.

    I installed my trailer brake controller in it. Seems like it wasn't useful for anything else.
