I can't find a good picture of the firewall just to the passenger side of the steering column spot. The truck that I am restoring, has an hole just to the passenger side of the steering shaft hole between it and the transmission hump, and I can't figure out what went through it. Can someone tell me what it is for? The hole is about 2 inches in diameter. Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

that plate is covering the hole for the clutch rod if your truck was a manual transmission. The block off plate was what the factory installed if your truck was a factory automatic.

well that makes perfect sense.i was thinking clutch linkage but thought the hole wasn't in the right place but now that i see it,of course it's the clutch.we're all learning i guess.grade 3 was the hardest 4 years of my life??take care.
