HELP! What are these holes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi there. I'm in the process of painting my truck and realised there are two pairs of holes on the center top of each fender, exactly same position, as pics show. They look to me like original, but can't figure out what they are for. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

I think those need filled. I can't think of anything "factory" that would have gone there.

Wow that was fast, thanks. That's what I'll do then.

Maybe shock/strut mounts for an old cab over camper. They had those back in the day I believe.

Ok, makes sense. I bought the truck with a camper on it.
