My guess is that the motor that was installed had a starter that used a foot pedal. Foot pedal levered the starter drive into flywheel and engaged battery voltage simultaneously. Was popular in cars and trucks in early 1950's.

Hope that helps.

Steve is probably right. Looks like the starter pedal my old '41 Chevy had. I'm guessing a previous owner hacked a hole in the floor to fit an older engine in your truck.
