My theory is that this truck, at one point had some kind of camper top option. In the attached picture you can see that there is some kind of "plug" behind the driver's door. When you flip it up it looks to be like some kind of 3 prong plug... almost like a microphone plug...

Also it has the cut out circle on the bed. My understanding is that there might have been a 2 fuel tank option?? But this hole is on both the driver and passenger sides.

Any insight would be appreciated.. What are they for? Are they aftermarket?
is there any special electrical that might be in the truck based on these clues....Should this send the restoration in a different direction? LOL..

Thanks everyone

My '67 has the same type of plug in the same location. My guess is that it's for an electrical power connection to a long-gone camper of some type. The holes in your bedsides were probably for after-market auxiliary fuel tanks. Lots of owners added them during the gas shortage crisis of the early '70s.
