Can anyone identify the single screw to the right of the glove compartment in this photo? I wonder if it came on the truck or was added for some purpose by the PO.

Mystery Screw in Dash

Thanks - Bob

It is not a factory application. If I was to guess, I would say at some point it was a tab or similar to keep the glove box door from opening. Here is a factory shot from 1954, there is nothing there to warrant that screw.
