58.. 2 holes in trans cover?

Quick one... Sorry to ask dumb/obvious questions on here!
I'm working on my 58.. 283 and manual gearbox. Haven't. driven her yet as its a long way off. The transmission cover has a hole for the gearlever and another one to the right. There isn't a lever coming though.. Anyone know what that's for?

Yea I have that too, its the parking brake lever, which was typically found on the 3/4 ton trucks and larger. 3600 series.

Okay, now we know!
Chevy probably pressed only one cover for all their types?
