I think it is the access hole to get to the top fender bolt. It should have a cover held on with one screw.

As you can tell by looking in that square hole, you'll see a bolt head looks to be a fender bolt. Originally these trucks came with small panels held on by a single screw, same principal as the door hinge panel. I suspect over the years people would remove these and just never put them back on, probably intended to but never got a "round-to-it" any way if your lucky enough you can find them at the wrecking yard or e-bay.

I suppose you can put courtesy lights there just remember there is a bolt there that you'll need to access sooner or later.

I always wondered why mine had red tape on the kick panels in front of the fresh air vents. I had no idea. Never pulled the tape off to see.

Henry, it is 20 miles west of Ft.Worth. Your story reminds me of the time I was in Chicago at a convenience store and the gal said " you have to be from Texas". I said "yes mam " .. Hardest town I ever tried to find a can of Copenhagen !

My 61 has something like that over the holes. But i think someone may have made them sometime, they are just plain ole sheet metal, and rivetted in place.
