Unexplained hole
Just curious as to what this hole is for below the square rubber bumper? Is there something missing?

I’m pretty sure that’s for air shocks-valve location … Dave.

Depending on the hole size, it could be for the Schrader valve for "air shocks". Might be nothing missing if you don't have a "trailer towing package".

I have my fill for my air bags there now.

From the 68 Assembly Manual.
