I was referring to what looks like a long lever/handle between two things
that look sort of like regulators 'way up under the left side of the
compartment.

My one suggestion about the replacing the dash is this:

As far as you're into it anyway, why not go ahead and make it truly like
you want it inside. Of all the stuff I've done to the GMC, I'm probably
most happy with and enjoy that. And it REALLY wasn't very difficult.
Compared to what you've done, it's really trivial. Just jump in and DO it,
like I did. That windshield rail you're concerned about as an attachment
location for the OEM dash makes a really nice basis for a new dash top.

I'll look forward to seeing it in Pueblo. :-)
