Re: What goes here
Looks like it is usually/sometimes just a dimple in the firewall. Is yours an A/C truck? If it is, perhaps it is a provision for that.
Otherwise PO might have drilled it out and utilized it for something else since it is convenient to use. EDIT: Yes here is a thread on it, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=558005

Re: What goes here
Well, called my dad and talked to him about it. He said he remembered, my grandpa kept having trouble with blower motors and they drilled the dimple to put a bolt and ground blower. Makes sense to me. I guess the mystery it solved. Thanks.

Re: What goes here
My 70 has a retaining grommet in it for the firewall insulation. You can kind of see it in these pictures. I just replaced all this during my restoration process.

Re: What goes here
I also have a plain jane heat-only truck. Mine has a firewall insulation clip in that hole also as stated above. They push in from the interior and stick through the firewall.

Re: What goes here
My best guess is the antenna wire for the radio.
