I made my own from a wide band muffler clamp with 2 L brackets welded on each side after I had my angle figured out. Screwed to firewall with 3/4" long wood screws. I have a piece of 3/4" plywood bondoed and fiber glassed to the inside of the body firewall.
The one in picture looks like a TP piece. I know they also had the ones that went into the floor.

Good idea. I forked over big bucks for one of the aluminum ball socket swivel type. Considering the fact that I had a column, shortened it myself, etc... I ended up spending over five bills on my column parts, between the drop, knobs n levers, mount, u joints, steering wheel adapter, then there was the steering wheel. It it a very important piece of my puzzle... had to be exactly as it turned out to workout. It tilts, telescopes, houses most controls, etc.... a big boy body would have simplified life tremendously. Live and learn!

I'm also working on the brake pedal mods. I grafted a brake pedal arm form a 67 Chevelle to R.P.Ms firewall mounted brake assembly. I have another brake pedal from a 72 impala. I'll remove the chevelles pedal pad & graft on the impalas pedal pad ( the impala has a wider pedal pad ). I needed the arm portion from the chevelles assembly. It has some much needed bends.

I angle grind the 2 pieces that are going to be butted together ( creating a V ) & use a 220 welder to fuse the 2 pieces together. I've modified brake pedals , gas pedals , emergency brake handles and shifting levers in the past. Regardless of my past experiences , I still have a lot to learn. I come from a humble background ; my father was from Arkansas , my mother was from Oklahoma & I was born in Porum Oklahoma. On my fathers side are auto mechanics & my mothers side are Baptist ministers. I have a twin brother named Ronny. There were 8 children in my family ( ate lots of beans n taters ) . YUM ! YUM ! Still lov'em.

I lived near there in Canadian, Oklahoma for one school year as a kid. Very poor part of Oklahoma. No work but good people.

Here are some photos :
My brake pedal should arrive tomorrow. When it arrives i'll resume my work on my t bucket. I still have to add a piece to the Chevelles brake arm ( has to be about an inch longer ). Then i'll remove the Chevelles brake pedal & add the Impalas brake pedal.
