I have asked many people with no answer.
What is the open slot on the column just above my steering box, it has a metal cover over it. I have a 1950 216 Chevrolet pickup.

Thats where the wire is fed for the mast bearing right behind the steering wheel, the wire provides power to the horn button

I believe the slot you are referring to is for locating the column shifter box which has a small boss on the back side. If you have a floor shift the slot has no purpose.

Thanks that makes sense. The horn wire is much higher. Thanks again.
