Well I would do it, but alas no snow so I can’t check it out for you.

Just a stab in the dark, but maybe it was a "clearance bump" for part of the assembly process. Somthing that was done in the wheell well like steering box asembly or front end alignment. IDK.

I went outside and verified the bump appeared on my 1969 truck. Now that I know about it, I like it a lot. It has really grown on me.

Easy Arkansas...LOL

I think we have a mystery that needs to be solved! The people want to know. They do deserve to know!

I looked at it again and I'm not sure the work to remove it is worth it now that I know it will be such a great conversation piece.

Kewpie doll award to the contestant in the corner. If you don't have the battery tray, you can put a needle in the dimple for the angels to dance on.
