Couple of AD questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I bought both the 48 and the 54 in pieces, so I need some help.

On the underneath side of the dash for the 54, this bracket hangs down.

I have no idea what "hangs" there under the dash. It has nothing to do with the cowl vent, I know that.

Then regarding the cowl vent, I had some bad news today. I was dissembling it as I'm starting on the 54 and found the ear that is riveted on the dash piece had come off. Actually, the rivet (I think) had rusted in to.

Is this a rivet? Would a bolt work, since it would be a PITA to try and buck and hammer a rivet in there. What have others done?

Thanks
