1950 project

[72ArizonaBurb]

I am still working on the dash. I made end caps and welded them in. I have spent a lot of time getting the steering column lined up and mounted where I want it. I had to make a spacer to attach to the bottom of the dash to keep the steering wheel from hitting the speedometer when the tilt if fully up. I also had to fabricate a brace from the old brace by splitting it in two and then welding a new attachment point at the fire wall. Needless to say all of this fitting took some time. I'm getting close to welding it in it. I have to decide if I will install an A/C center vent (which I don't have currently) and if I am going to make a cut out for single din radio or hide the radio in the glove box. I still need to fabricate some side mounting braces and attach the bottom of the dash to the cab and maybe one more brace from the firewall to the bottom of the dash for support on the glove box side. It seems very sturdy with the current bracing so I will wait until I have the dash welded in before deciding.
