What is this access hole for?

I borrowed this picture from KENS65FB (thanks) and I have the same access hole on my 1966 passenger cowl.

Does anybody know what this access/pass through hole is for? Thanks

Probably a registration hole for when the fender is stamped. But I could be wrong.

I believe it is a feed hole for an original antenna lead.

The antenna mounts on top of the cowl and feeds into the cab above the passenger's side kick panel, right? This truck's cowl appears to not have been pierced for an antenna. Not that my registration hole guess was right.

Re: What is this access hole for?

I added a photo where access point is.
A grommet goes there with the antenna passing through

Sorry for quality of photo

At least this is where mine is located
Not sure if accurate

Re: What is this access hole for?

I don't think it's for the Antenna:
The antenna hole comes up under the cowl cover.

Re: What is this access hole for?

Also look at this thread - It has an antenna with nothing through that hole. And it has holes on both sides.
