Whats this for? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tmad · 02-13-2005, 01:16 PM

Hey Folks! I need your help! Can someone tell me what this hole is for and where I might be able to get a plug for it? Looking at the front of the truck it is to the left of steering shaft and slightly lower! This is a 67 2wd lwb 283 auto. And while Im here where can I get the noise and heat barrier for the cab floor of these trucks? Thanks in advance! Todd

The clutch pushrod passed through that hole on manually equipped trucks.

Rollie396 · 02-13-2005, 01:34 PM

correct me if I'm wrong,but I believe that's the hole for the clutch linkage to pass through.If you had an automatic from the factory,there was a little plate (that I can't find my picture of) screwed over it.

70c10swb · 02-13-2005, 01:34 PM

that looks like the hole for the clutch linkage.
as for the other questions... i dont know

for a noise/heat barier i would look at something like dynomat

edit: wow im a slow typer, you all beat me

Rollie396 · 02-13-2005, 01:35 PM

and gonebad2 wins by a nose!

gonebad2 · 02-13-2005, 01:45 PM

Somewhere around here I have a few of the factory coverplates. If a pic isn't posted, I'll see if I can do it.

68w/sbc406 · 02-13-2005, 02:09 PM

well shoot if you have a few, are you selling? tmad gets the first one if you are (its his thread) but if you have a second one to id be interested

Longhorn Man · 02-13-2005, 02:15 PM

I managed to sell this one for 15 bucks after a quick run through the sand blaster and some nice paint.
You could easily make one our of some scrap metal or alluminum.
Hmmm...Maybe I can cut out a hand full and sell them....

I did some digging but only came up with one. I'll check my junkyard toolbag. I always pull em when I see em. Let t-mad answer in the thread if he wants it or not (no pm's). If he doesn't want it, it's yours. The one I found has not been sandblasted or painted but it's in good shape. $2.00 via paypal to cover shipping and an envelope will get it there....

If someone will make a paper template of one and send it to me, I'll make some up for folks who need them.

Rollie396 · 02-13-2005, 03:30 PM

one thing to consider though if making them,the original has bout a 1/16" lip around the edge.Prolly not a big deal for most.
If you want TX I could email a pic of it with dimensions,you could adjust the size of the pic if needed,print and cut out a template.
Ah hell it'd be easier to just make one and snail mail it to ya

.PM me your addy if you wanna do it.
