I didn’t have a pic of the back of the dash but here it is.
Also since I’m posting…the fenders for 53TD are ready for paint and may get painted tomorrow. The running boards will be ready tomorrow also.

And BlownTC’s steering column is ready for paint. The steering box looks ok as far as play in the shafts go. Once painted the Thompson kit will go in. The radiator is straightened out (the fan had hit it flush and put a nice circle in it by bending all the fins) so it is ready for paint also. The rear shocks are in. The distributor is on and timed and a new cap and wires have been fitted. We did a tail pipe fit with a TD down pipe and a TD muffler and it looks “doable.” A little more flow with the supercharger can’t hurt. Speaking of the supercharger the idler for the belts has a crack in it from top to bottom. The bearing was frozen and not turning, we opened it up, cleaned it and when the bearing was pressed back in the crack was opened. The machine shop said the crack was an old crack and filled with dirt and grime. It can’t be welded but they can make a new one without any problem. More to come………
