Hole/Missing bracket on back of cab? *pic*
 
What were these holes for? I haven't looked inside the cab, behind the gas tank yet.

This pic is of the passenger side cab corner area.

I agree w/ jayharrell. could be the remnants of a rare Corvette option?

That was for those rare NASCAR Deceleration flaps. If you ever loose control and spin out they would flip up and stop slow you down. I haven't seen them on one of our trucks yet.

THATS what its for!! Slipped my mind. corvette option. From your cab it looks like there used to be a strap or somthing that went under the cab. a mid body, under the cab wing???? if your truck is a longbed you would need a wing right in the middle to get some added down force. But i've never seen a corvett option glove box sticker, so i'm probably way off.

comedians, eh? lol

I think my truck might have seen a frame off at some point and those are holes from the cab being mounted to a rotisserie. No idea.. I know it's been repainted. I'm going to look for holes on the other side now.

LOL too good. I see a big F**d CEO with your cab on a rack and a BBQ rub trying to make it tender, but cant soften it up :metal::devil:

Might be the redneck engeneer in me, but if i put those holes there, from the rust pattern on the back of the cab, i might of tried to put a 85 saddle tank tucked under there with a stock 85 strap at some point.

But the dad in me says it could be for a child saftey seat hook. But thats just crazy talk.

Looks like where the rear strap of a running board would hang...
