Script COULD have repro tub, because bracket holding steering column to dash is bolted, not riveted to cutaway in dash.

Strange! Because when I went back to pictures after posting first part, I couldn't find the one showing the close up of the steering column to dash picture.

AND..Would have to see under slat tub to see if hat channels are early ACM 1 type.

Silly me! I just went to the sellers website again and found the picture of the steering column bracket . Here it is; It's the last picture, way at the bottom of the page when you scroll down.
