Hi everyone,

I've got a strange heavy steel reinforcement patch in the trunk of my '70 Sport Fury. It's only on one side (driver's side), and it's located just behind the rear stop light, on top of a seam between two trunk floors. I've taken a picture of the driver's side (where the patch is) and the passenger's side (where there's none, but there's a small hole that's factory).

I'm wondering if it's factory (it does look as old as its surroundings), or if it's a patch some owner added (but for what reason?).
What's your opinion?

Not factory but appears to be a very old repair. Agree with Rusty on the buzz box judging by the crater cracks
