For the navigator we got a hand lathed "Panic Rail" a Compass and Yes a full blown Altimeter so the passenger can help pilot this highway flyer.  

 

 

Dutch Used To Call The Truck The "Raunchy Utility Vehicle."  Which she pretty much is with her externally-mounted spare gas, water and oil cans.

Inside behind passenger has some kind of Clamp.. to the passengers right there is a old school fire extinguisher and flash light.

A barrel reserve gas tank mounted behind the cab, the deal is that with all of the gadgets we just showed ya above Dutch never put a gas gauge in her.  

 

"When ya hear a loud ticking coming from the fuel pump and she starts runnin'  rough then ya got'ta turn on the upper tank and get to a gas station," these were some of the hand-written instructions that Von Dutch put together on how to operate the truck.
