Mysterious mounting spot on middle of firewall - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is the interior, right in the center of the firewall, right above the trans hump.

Anyone know what would have gone here? It's a 1970 C10, has factory 4 season AC. I figure it might have been some kind of AC related relay maybe, but it's mounted in a place that's kind of easy to see, not neatly tucked out of the way. But half of the AC system is taken out so I don't know what it could be. The factory service manual shows an AC relay tucked away on the right side behind the dash. So I really have no idea, hoping some bros might know

On my 68 C10 that hole is for the left side mounting point for the inner heater box. Mine is a non A/C but I think the mounting points would be the same

Something has melted the insulation on your green and brown wires, which are either heater or headlights. Looks like a short waiting to happen, you might want to tape those up.

Thanks guys, and I hadn't even noticed the wires. The wiring harness is generally in shambles. I'll be taking a closer look at a lot of the exposed parts.
