Default Anyone?
Anyone have a '65 GTO with a digital camera? I need a picture of the underside of the dash directly under the steering column. I think I'm missing something...besides brain cells....

I didn't know Pontiac offered the GTO with a digital camera back in 1965.

I have both but don't understand the question.

Do you want the photo facing forward, or upward?

Keith, from what I have been told, there is a short piece that has to be removed from under the dash to drop the steering column down. What I need is a picture from the floor pointing up at the bottom of the dash to see if there is a piece of metal directly under the steering column that does get removed, mine is missing, I think. My underdash lap ac vent will not attach correctly with a void in that area....see pic..

Question
Perhaps you mean the underdash "Plate" shown above the "Valve & Adapter ASSY" shown in the illustration below? (from Pontiac GTO Restoration Guide)

I'll be looking for a photo and detail of the steering column to post here for you too.

Hope this helps.

Goathead, what you need is the plate shown in Alvin's first picture. I had the same problem with the A/C 64 GTO I'm building now. That plate spans the gap under the column. It's available as a reproduction, which I purchased, but haven't installed yet. I'll try to take a look at it this weekend, install it, and snap a picture.

Thumbs up
Thanks Ron for posting the RPI732 plate info.

Ill be interested in your install of that part as I see I may also need it for our '67 GTOs A/C system. I will have to see if and how it is on ours.

P.S. Whoever gave this thread a ONE STAR VOTE shame on you AND should consider better again when THEY need an assist from others here @ PY.

I gave it a 5 Star

Excellent help guys, thanks. I suppose those are PY part numbers, so I will order one now. Only thing keeping me from finishing now is the duct assembly. If anyone has one, PM me....thanks a bunch...

I did a quick BING search on the PN and it appears to be an AMES PN

Let's see if we can find it on our host PY site or catalogs using a simular description as the RPI732 below

Per the description: "RP1732 1964-67 AC Lap Vent Plate, Upper, LH or RH" and my original post image it Looks like it takes one on each side?

See the "shown above the "Valve & Adapter ASSY" shown in the illustration below" for drivers and passengers side:

I have already installed the passengers side, and it installs flat and looks good without this plate. But, on the drivers side there is no metal on the left side of the vent to stabilize it and make it lay flat. Without some support, the vent will not lay flat, but on the passengers side there is plenty of metal to make it install correctly. Also, the restoration guide exploded view only shows the plate on the drivers side, which makes sense to me.

GR8! Without our car here to look, that discription made me question if needed for both sides.
