Clutch hole plug?

[cole71]

Starting to put my truck together and was going to install the clutch hole plug I purchased from DC. (The truck was originally a 3sp on the column) and I have changed it to an auto. Well, when I went to install it, it just wouldn't go. This is the part I ordered http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll ... Z50000024D

I know its for a 73-79 but figured it might work. Anyone know where to buy the right one? or will I be looking in a junkyard?

Thanks, Cole

p.s I checked the pn on the package and the pn on the plug and they were different? could this have something to do with it?

Is that the hole under and left of the accelerator pedal, where the clutch rod used to go straight down?
If so, the factory used a sqared piece of sheetmetal, countoured a bit for a cover. It's usually got a lot of, uh, goop sealing it up, held down with 2 sheet metal screws.

First photo is an original cover on my '71. There is one under there somewhere...
Second photo from my '72, I just couldn't leave well enough alone, recontoured it, glued it in with caulk, used additional and flatter fasteners.

That's it! After a little help with another pair of hands today we got the plug in, but now have two screw holes to sort out. Thanks again for the pics!
