I thought as I put the truck (1953 chevy 3100) together I would know what went there. It is not for my heater. Any idea? My setup is just like this. Maybe it was for a different type of heater Hole in firewall Last edited by BSCowboy; 06/25/2013 8:40 PM. http://s1367.photobucket.com/user/rcarmstrong/library/1953%20Chevy%20Pickup
