Hi guys,
My truck has a hole about 2" diameter on the passenger side wing, sorry, fender, lol

See pics:

just wondering if anybody might have any ideas what it might have been for???
There are two screws above the windscreen on the same side which may or may not have been another fixing point of whatever it was

 

It may be for the heater.btw I cant see the pics

 

Could be anything... have seen radio ant stuck there... But that hole is to big for that... pics look like 51 / 52 area truck.... Hope someone else has more help for you...

 

Farm trucks, especially those used in dry harvest (wheat is typical in my part of the neighborhood), routinely have their exhaust modified to run out the front and up instead of underneath the prevent starting a fire in the field. I had two F6 trucks that had their pipes run from the manifold through the top of the fender, with the top held firm with a bracket above the windshield corner.

PS, your pics wouldn't open for me.

 

Looks like maybe a flagpole mount. Was your truck an old military truck or maybe saw duty at an airport?

 

You have to be logged in to Facebook to see them. Here they are

 

Yeah, that's pretty typical of farmer exhaust holes. I thought I had pics of mine on here somewhere, but my album is gone.

 

Beer holder for a long armed passenger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought perhaps exhaust, but when i looked underneath there are no holes in the inner fender and i couldn't imagine the route the exhaust would have to take to actually be possible, so i ruled it out, also its a V8 so sure3ly the other exhaust would have to link in? i'll take another look.

It was a farm truck so that makes most sense.

or maybe a shotgun holder?? LoL

 

There are no holes in the inner fender well because the exhaust would have converged and come under the frame to exit through that hole in the fender.

 

It is for a submerisable unit...like this...

 

Holy Cow!.... I mean fender. Jag

 

Hey that reminds me, I still need to patch up the hole in my fender! or maybe I'll just route my exhaust through there and install a flamethrower kit


Look familiar Wayne?

 

1 vote for the flamethrower kit!!

 

What a beautiful fender. It sure brings back memories.
