I got the truck from this year's Con with the interchangeable "canvas" tops.
One cool thing I noticed was on the top of the tops are small indentions. These seem to be there so a person could recreate the truck chase scene from Raiders and Indy or Nazis can hang off the side of the truck. Pretty cool little play feature.
A question I have though, is about the trailer hitch on the back of the truck. On the Con truck it moves back and forth. I was wondering if maybe on the Indy version of the truck, this is some kind of switch for turning on some electronic feature. It feels like its notched to hold it in either position. I looked at the bottom of the truck and there aren't any seams or anything that might be a battery compartment that wasn't molded into to Con version.
I've never seen the Indy version in person, so I was just curious if it had something the Con version didn't.

Yeah, it had a string whip with a plastic handle.
Turning the hitch one way would let the whip be dragged, and the other way would make it retract as the wheels turned, like if it was getting rolled into the axel.

The feature was probably disabled both because it's not very Joe-esque, and like electronics on Transformers toys, ditching them entirely saves the Club money.

Here's pic of what Jay is talking about. http://home.comcast.net/~IndianaJonesTo ... o_6_B4.jpg

The Indiana Jones truck is a really good piece. It had play features that make sense from that scene in the movie.
