"Question - I see a decorative cover plate attached to the dash above the steering column that covers the brace. Never seen that before. No trace of that on either of mine. "
Is yours a COE, Jim?
My 1954 GMC COE has a different/stronger steering column attachment under the dash (the steering column is longer than the one on non-COE trucks). Most likely the Chevrolet COE's attachment is different from other Chevrolet trucks? Or, maybe it is a difference between 54/55st COEs and earlier COEs?
