Can somebody tell me what this hole is for? Bottom of 75 Duster front bumper. Has same on other side. Has mark like a washer, but I don't recall removing anything from it.

Mine has them also. No idea what they are for.
That's where the fog lamps were mounted back in the day.
Never saw them before...Are those factory? Where do they plug in? The holes had something in previously, but I didn't see any unused wiring that would have gone to them.That's where the fog lamps were mounted back in the day.

at you a little - many people used those holes to mount fog lights but - I defy you to find an A body that came with factory fog lights.. nearly positive it never happened

my 71 Scamp has the hole on either side
No doubt people added them, but .... I don't think they put it there for no reason. And, as said mine had something there.he's

Keith - I'd bet they are some kind of manufacturer positioning holes for when they were making the bumper - much like someone recently said about the extra hole in a factory distributor clamp.

Was just throwing it out there. Have seen the extra holes on other makes/models.
I wasn't intending to poke a little but that was the first thing that jumped into my head. As far as I know, there wasn't anything mounted to those holes from the factory. We did use them to mount fog lamps and other objects such as a spoiler or cb radio external speaker. Fog lamps and a speaker are out since you didn't find any wiring running to them.
I tend to agree that they were put there to help in assembly. Maybe to hang on a parts rack.

Ok, I didn't think factory offered fog lights, but anything possible. Still would love to know what was on mine...

I have noticed - and I have certainly tried to involve you at least once...
You guys all good with the group hug?
Scamper! Do not try to put THAT in the hole please!
Seriously, thanks for the ideas. Anybody else like to throw in another possible or actually know why they are there?

My 75 front bumper has those holes as well. Is the chrome worn there or is light corrosion? Although it looks like something was mounted there, I suspect those are just water marks. That's the low point on the bumper which means that's where the water would pool before dripping to the ground.
Both had circle marks like there were washers over the chrome
Jack slots
They are vertical in the face. I'm looking at round ones on bottom edge.
