Beside the two main bolts and the two tool tray bolts, there appear to be six other threaded nuts in the cab back section at the tank. Looks like 5/16-24 is the thread. Were there bolts originally installed in those 6 additional locations?

Thanks.

Wow. I guess nobody knows

I would imagine they may be there for something used only with the Big Trucks, but I can't imagine what. I'm not sure my '52 has the extras.

I went and looked at my 1948 and the gas tank bolts are like yours in the second hole
in on each side and the tool tray and tank have bolts in the third hole in.
