Re: 69 dash /column -rubber pad install?
Are you taking about the part the meats up with the gauge cluster. If so you have to remove the steering column to install.

Re: 69 dash /column -rubber pad install?
Not shure I have a 4 speed floor shift so I never had to deal with the shift arms. Maby it will stretch. I had to strach it over the colum harness plug and that was a struggle

Re: 69 dash /column -rubber pad install?
Mine is also tilt. Just start at the bottom and finagle it up. It's the shift linkage that will give you the most struggles. Again I did not have to deal with that. Heat the rubber up a bit so it can streach more. Makes a guy wonder how they did it at the factory.

That rubber was installed before the column was assembled. It will stretch.
