If you mean 3/4 inch (where the ignition switch goes thru), I believe the one on the right is for an accessory cigarette lighter. On my truck (which didn't have a radio) it had a snap-in plug.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

There is a 3/4 in hole on to the right of the hole i am talking about. the 3/8 hole is between the right radio hole and the lighter hole which is about 3/4 inch.
thanks

I suppose it could be something that was added. with the flat i did not think it had been added however it could have.

If it's a factory punched out "D" hole, it's not added. Always start with what vehicle you have.

Item 11 is lighter, 10 is throttle, 8 is choke

Interesting info to read

The smaller 3/8 "D" holes holes are usually for push/pull, like the left side choke/throttle. The hole to right of that 3/8 is lighter. That 3/8 is usually plugged.

What make/year/model trucks are being referred-to (in the first post, and in replies)?

1954/55st in bartamos’ reply.

Also the Jim Carter 54/55st two-tone interior color scheme is a little incorrect, I think.

Past posts indicated 1954. Tim is the 54 expert here. Not me.

Thanks for the help. The layout is great. I agree that the two D holes are for the throttle and choke. It is a 54 3100. It had a plug in the lighter hole, but i have replaced it with a 12 volt power outlet.
Thanks again for the help. i will be back for more.
