54 dash brace?
 
I have the dash brace for the 48, it looks like this

I don't have one for the 54, and so I tried to get this one to fit, but it doesn't.

Did the 54's have a different dash to firewall brace?

Somebody asked that once before...if my rememberer is working I think it's got brace rods instead of the bracket you show..

Thanks Greg.

If anyone has a picture, I'd sure like to see it.

Ok...I managed to get some pics thru the gauge holes..the rods I remembered were for the steering column support,,,right next to it is a brace similar to the one In your pic....but it is different
And the cowl vent lever is attached to it

Thanks Greg. I think I cut one of those up to make a new rear fender support for the 48! I'll try to run some down. Really appreciate it.

the brace rods are the right answer, the one next to it is the cowl vent mount, all ads had that.

Thanks Joe.

As it turns out, not only did I pull them from the cab, I labeled them and set them aside, only to forget where I put them. Last night I found them and put them in and now know which two holes I need in the firewall.
