    When I bought my '73, the lower dash and glove box door were not installed. I went to put them in today and I think I might be missing something.

    I see two brackets on either side above the kick panels but the lower dash does not appear to hit those. Is there a piece that bridges between the two brackets or is part of my dash broken off where it is supposed to attach to the brackets? I do not have the heater box installed either, does it attach to that?

    As it sits right now, it appears to only attach at the top which doesn't seem at all adequate, especially if I try to attach the glove box door which appears to install to the bottom side of the lower dash. If someone has pictures of how their dash is installed, that would also help a lot.

    Any help is appreciated.

    There is a metal bracket that spans the entire distance of glove box dash.

    I think I have all the pieces, came with my car but mine uses the tray. If you are missing anything let me know and I can hook you up, we have a store in Everett and our regional manager makes his way over there somewhat regularly.
