dash install help needed?

How about a pic of what you're looking at. I'm thinking what you're talking about are the studs that hold the column in place.
Yes. Do these two studs actually go thru the lower dash frame? My lower dash seemd to be jammed up against them and appears to be wrong. I am thinking the dash fromhas two holes there for these studs to pass through? So another words you have to have the steering column dropped all the way off these two studs so the dash frame will go over the studs first and then put the steering column back up asnd tighten the stud bolts???
