Are these holes stock?

Hi all, I've put the truck up for the winter and starting to do all the little things on my list. Didn't work on it much this summer cause I was too busy driving it. I'm new to these trucks and some things are a mystery. Are these holes factory and if so, what for? Both sides are in identical locations. Haven't seen them on any others and I'm just curious.

I can't tell with the small image that doesn't seem to enlarge when you click on it.

Sorry about the picture, I can't seem to enlarge it. The hole is that little black dot to the right of the headlite and park lite. Its less than a 1/4 drill size. I just can't think of what they were for.

May have been a reflector bolted on there, some people love to add stuff they think is cool.

Re: Are these holes stock?

Was yours originally a GMC? I see you have a gmc hood, and those holes are about where the gmc mustache piece should bolt onto the fender.

No its not a gmc. The PO had this hood laying around and liked the opening in the front so he used it. Your right about the GMC fenders but the ones I've seen the holes are much larger and 2 on each side. They are really not a problem for me, I am just wondering.
