Holes, everyboy's got them....or do they?
I am seeking places to mount the "remote control" of the wiper delay unit I offer. Are the holes pictured in the images "factory"? One is by the e-brake and one is to the left of the ign. switch of my 72. Do other model years have these holes if they were/are factory? What were they intended for if the are/were factory?

Re: Holes, everyboy's got them....or do they?
I believe they are factory holes. My truck has the hole above the parking brake release, complete with original paint. It's clearly not a drilled hole.
The other hole has the aftermarket fuel gauge selector toggle switch, so I'm less sure about that one. It was there when I bought the truck in 1977.

Re: Holes, everyboy's got them....or do they?
My 69 has only the hole above the brake release handle. Nothing near the ignition switch. I can assure you that's the way it came from GM.
May vary by year and production date though. |

Very interesting, so far we are three for three on the hole by the e-brake. Anybody else care to chime in? Thanks!

I have the hole by the key, I have my dash apart to do some work, and add the wiper delay, i thought about trying to mount it there also, will have to check into that later.

Re: Holes, everyboy's got them....or do they?
My 70 has both holes. I've found they're the perfect size for 1/2 inch aftermarket toggle switches. I've used both - one for a light control switch and one for the switch for my amp.

I was thinking, possibly tooling holes for ether manufacture or alignment? also possibly different from plant to plant as well?

Re: Holes, everyboy's got them....or do they?
On my '68 the hole on the left above the e-brake is there, but on the right by the ignition switch, the hole is there but it is only about 1/4"-5/16" diameter. I forgot to check the '67 that is in my shop, but I would imagine it is the same. The '69 parts cab that I have has both holes as your '72 does Bill.

Re: Holes, everyboy's got them....or do they?
Thanks for the input everybody. Judging by the first batch of potentiometers I ordered, the hole(s) would not work. I am going with a bracket to mount the pot or drill 5/16" hole in the bezel to mount it directly. I will give the buyers of the delay the option to do either.
