Slick 60's

I'm in the process of correcting somebody's well intended attempt at installing a tilt column in my 64 F100. It's too high on the firewall and does not square up to the dash or the seat like it should.

For some reason the old steering column floor cover plate is missing. I can see where it was, but have no idea what it looked like or how it was used.

I have come to the conclusion I need to move the column 1" to the right from where it was mounted under the dash and drop the floor mount down about 5" from where it is currently mounted which looks about like where the old column might have been originally installed. In this position my column will line up nicely with the steering box and sit square under the dash and square to the seat.

Anybody have a picture of this cover? Looks like it might have had a gasket under it as well. Anybody have one they'd like to sell for a 1964 F100?

A lot of things in the 64 look like 53 to 56 truck parts I have owned including this part.

Thanks.

The column does come up through the floor in the floorboard angled area as it was connected to the gearbox, not separate as in the later pickups. The Column does angle slightly to the drivers side as that's where the "notch" for mounting it to the dash and the lower mounting on the inside of the frame make it point that way. The column does NOT point straight to the front. The cover plate is a two piece part and does have a thin gasket under it.

far as i know ,no one makes the metal piece but the rubber gasket is available new.
