Is that the hole for the rods that connect between the firewall and the outboard edge of the radiator support cover? Is there another matching hole on the driver's side? It might be an alignment hole used to locate the welded on angle bracket that holds the rod against the firewall. Looks like the bracket has a small stamped hole that would fit in the hole in the firewall. If you don't plan on using the alignment rods, you sure don't need that hole.

All the slant cabs have it but not the 56. Every one I have come across has had a metal plug in it. With all the patching you are doing on that firewall you may as well close it up.
