Odd bracket behind cowl extension?

They were on my parts truck (65 C10) but not my original 65 GMC.

Oh I see. The cowl extensions were already removed when I got the parts truck. Probably supposed to have some rubber attached to it?

You can use a 1/8" think piece of stiff rubber and glue it to the underside and fit it in place to stop the water and dust from getting under the hood.

My 66 originally didn't have rubber on them. No staple holes either. I wonder if it was later model year change...
