How does the stock AC center vent mount? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was looking through the boxes for my Vintage air setup and started test fitting some stuff. I had welded in an AC dash (bare) and now that I'm fitting things up from Vintage I noticed the chrome center vent I got from them mounts with studs to the provided plenum. However where the stock AC vent hole is in my dash, I have 4 small screw holes at each corner? Was there some kind of additional plate that screwed into the dash, then the vent into the plenum???

Does anyone have pictures of how a stock AC vent mounts or have info? Thanks!!

The inner black plastic piece has two holes that come from the studs mounted on the grille item hoipefully you can tell from these two pics. No studs on mine but believe you can make out what I am referring to. Hopefully this answers your question.
