It's mentioned as having three screws, but the seal from JC only has two premade holes positioned each side of the column and the firewall itself only has two holes. No matter.Screws it is.Thanks all.

Two large 1/4” Phillips head sheet metal screws hold them in place.

It may be that the war era trucks were slightly different. My 52 is a war era truck so some things are slightly different. The column seal is a rubber covered plate with a backing. It seems that it is held in place with three screws, but don't hold me to that. The seal is an elipse that is bent at an angle in the lower 1/3 to match the firewall. I also had to wait untill I redid the steering box to install the seal, as I had to disconnect everything to work on it. As it turned out I had to drop the steering column from the dash, and the frame to get that &^%(*& seal on over the column. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 50 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 50 | Another case of we're supposed to know what truck each of the 22,000 plus members has without being told.
