What the heck is this? v.2.0

What the heck is that little bolt for on the 'B' pillar of the Camper Special crew cabs? I always assumed it was some type of camper tie-down location, but it seems like it'd have to be an awfully narrow tie-down to retain the functionality of both doors while in use.

Looks like a previous owner add-on to me, I've never seen that before.

Nope. It's factory. I've seen it on a few trucks.

I'm not a 100% sure but pretty sure that is a tie down location for an overhead camper. If I remember right they actually used an adjustment rod set up and sometimes a shock absorber looking deal.
