I did order and received The 37 Ford book from the Online Store. The section regarding the radio receiver was very limited and did not indicate where the location of the Tee Bolts were located, nor were there and diagrams on that subject. I was however very impressed with the vast amount of information regarding the 37 Ford, and glad I took your advise to purchase the book. Without the help from members of this forum I would be clueless on how to mount the radio received. Thank you very much for all of your assistance. Have a Happy and safe New Years!!!

That black piece above the steering column is the correct location for a Ford installed radio. The radio head (controller) is located in center of instrument panel (as stated above). . . . 78-730B

Yes, looking at the picture, the left Tee-Bolt is located close to the throttle rod. I no longer own the car so I can't take a photo of the underside of the dash. However, if you enlarge the attached picture below you can see the right side of the radio chassis under the dash with the radio-head conduit connected to it....

Thanks, your reply is very helpful. From your photo, is one of the Tee - Bolts located near the throttle rod? By chance could you also take a view of the underside of the dash? Thanks again !!

If I recall correctly, there should be two 'dimples' on the firewall to drill out for the correct "Tee-Bolt" location. You can see the two bolts in the picture I've attached below. In the picture they are located just below the bend in the firewall where it goes from an angle to vertical....
