Hi Bill:
It is for the arctic heater (-65Degree) kit. You slide the right running
board back to the second set of holes and re bolt the running board, and
some sot of box lives there with a hose coming thru the fender plate then
feeding into the cab and battery box.
I would remove the plate, sand blast the plate and surounding areas, then
paint with POR 15 rust treatment, let dry and reassmeble with new bolts.
(Actully I would repaint the hole underside of the truck with POR 15. I did
my deuce like that and it looks great and protects it from rust. You so not
need to take the rust off, you paint over it and the POR 15 turns it into a
sold surface again)
NOTE: DO NOT GET POR 15 ON YOUR SKIN. EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME,
TO GET IT OFF, YOU HAVE TO WAIT FORIT TO WEAR OFF. (PERSONAL EXPERIANCE)
Good Luck
