Re: Urgent help needed

Probably was for a camper shell boot.
They usually had snaps in those holes to attach the boot.
Made the camper shell a "pass through" with no rear window.

I have never seen that before.
Probably just some custom work from a previous owner

lolife99 is prob right, I was thinking snaps for a sun shade or something, do you know if it was from a C/30 chassis

Re: Urgent help needed

My truck had a shell most of it's life and has the exact same holes. It is from a boot like mentioned above. Remove the back window and put the padded boot in between the camper shell and the cab for easy access.

Re: Urgent help needed

All but my current 3/4 ton had these - very common. Snaps for a camper boot as stated. If you’re ok with them, then no problem. But a good bit of work to weld em up if you’re not.

Re: Urgent help needed

Inside the cab = curtains

Outside the cab = camper seal
