What are these holes from? And what can I do? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**derotoreut** · 05-04-2011, 02:44 PM

Can anyone tell me what these holes might have been from. The left side of my dash has a series of holes in it. There are also similar holes to the left of the radio. I also have a single hole above the gas cap (I know what the one on the door jamb is on this pict. Lol.)

The next question is what can I do about them? Any ideas? Be nice!

Looks like someone bought themself a new drill and wanted to use it.......jesh! The dash ones would be for lights or add on switches but the one in the door frame and over the filler neck.......those are a baffle.

I may be wrong here, but isnt the hole in the door frame for the rubber door bumpers?

EDIT: I just read that you knew that! I also have no idea what the exterior hole over the filler would be for... at least its a nice round hole you can plug easily!

yes the one in the door frame is for the door bumpeer but the rest are not factory.

jhwkns · 05-05-2011, 03:53 PM

I'd fill them with dummy switches and lights, then label them with things like rocket launcher, machine gun, oil slick, ejector seat...

brad_man_72 · 05-05-2011, 04:19 PM

lightening holes, the hotroders used to do that alot. Makes your truck lighter and faster. That would explain the light blue color also.
if you're not up for the welding to fix idea you ould swing into a sign shop and have them get you a ccouple of pieces of vynle that match your blue to cover the holes.

I'd say that it was an emergence vehicle of some type.

Does anyone have any idea what the one above the gas cap would have been for?
