Right Place?

[RUSTY Cuda]

So I beat the piss outta my brand new coupler seal I'll deal with that later , it's on for now, so I grab the wheel to test out my new steering & it won't budge was about to get out the LARGE pry bar & sledge hammer when the brain freeze thawed................instead I went it the house to get the keys & unlock the friggen column!    MY BAD !

[RUSTY Cuda]

K, now I have 2 studs at the top of the column mount bracket , anyone know what goes here, looks like a nasty place to try & work once the dash is in, well at that, anything else that i should do up front there before the dash goes in? thanks, Rich.

Great progress, Rich!!!   As for your question, I've been away from my car too long to remember what gets attached there.

LMAO!  I usually take alittle break before I get out the pry bar and massive sledge hammer!  Looks good from what I can see!

I just took a look at mine (pad off but the metal dash framework is still in place); I've got two shiny studs coming out with sealing foam between the column bracket and the metal behind it tight around the studs, but nothing attached to them.

I can't tell where the other side of the stud is (in case its a bolt coming in from the plenum), sorry.

[RUSTY Cuda]

Hmmm I stuck my hands in there to clean up & don't remember anything in there,thanks for the look, I'll hang a while & see if anybody else knows something! Rich.

Looking good Rich, as far as the studs go, the only thing I can think of that has studs up in that area is the wiper arm bracket. I guess it could be for the support bracing rods for the steering if you haven't installed those yet. The only other ones are the vent studs that I can recall.

[RUSTY Cuda]

OK, the vent is in, it hangs off the bottom, so the braces would make sense, only thing is that I have none! don't think there were any there when I took it apart, I'll go back throuh my pics to double check(if I shot that area) how important would these pieces be? Thanks again, Rich.

[JCWCuda]

I will going down to the shop tomorrow to work on my buddy's jeep if i get a chance i'll try and get some pics for ya. If i have time i may take my Dash out tomorrow (monday)

[SilverChally]

Whatever is there I should have from the 74 I parted, just cut off what was left of the cowl... let me know if you need it.

[RUSTY Cuda]

I haven't had time to look at my stuff yet, I'm wondeing now if manual steering cars came with extra bracing, anyway, thanks for all the help & silver, I'll let you know as soon as we figure out what we're lookin for! Rich.

[JCWCuda]

I was hoping to be pulling my dash today ,but as things would have it i ran into problems on the Jeep . The pics i was able to take don't show anything . It's gonna be awhile before i get back down there ,but i will take pics if you still need them

Extra bracing where??  I have manual steering in the hardtop!   

[RUSTY Cuda]

Excuse my lousy "art work" but maybe from the two studs on the cowl to the bolts on the bracket? 
I did get a chane to go through my pics & nothing of anything mounted there, just the studs. Rich.

[4Cruizn]

I don't think anything mounts there that I remember.
