Interesting Moreland. Hmm. Looks great.

I'm trying to zero in on the bracket you speak of. Unless I'm missing it, the column bracket strap mounts to the brake pedal support mounted to the firewall. That's basically it inside the cab, though there's the brake stop plate, which square things up. What's the firewall bracket?

Unless there are variances, the cover mounts to the lower dash panel with two tap screws. Seems to me if a bracket is adjusted to raise the cover, then it would have to have an affect on the dash panel too, which then affects the instrument panel bezel.

What's that plate you have underneath the dash? Perhaps the 1970 and 1971 columns have their differences.
