Not factory installed - installed by dealer/owner. There were GM accessory front-fender-mounted lamps and many types of after market front-fender-mounted lamps.

I did however run across one of my front fenders with two holes on the side, right over the front wheel opening. One fender has them, the other doesn't. I know they're from different trucks, but I have never seen these holes on the front fenders before. Almost as if someone meant to rivet a bracket there or something.
Anyone else seen these before? Maybe know what they were used for?

Dads truck had them and he hated them moved to under the bumper and he was happy. My job was to lift the pipe as he pushed it under the truck.

Settles that question...now off to weld them shut so I'm that much closer to being ready for a paint booth! | | |
