Steering Column Clamps?
Steering Column Clamps?
I was messing around with my truck and noticed there are 2 clamps at the bottom of the steering column by the floorboards that are about 6-8" apart. Looks like they were used to hold something (small fire extinguisher etc.) Does anyone one what would have been there from the factory? Thanks!

I would think they have some kind of purpose. Doesn't make sense to pay the money during production if they do not serve a purpose...?

It sounds like a flashlight holder, mine has it to. Pretty sure it was just a dealer install.
