A while ago, I removed the three-speed shifter that was still attached to
the steering column after a PO's switch from three to four speeds.
Underneath where the base of the shifter attached to the steering column,
there is a somewhat rectangular hole, perhaps 1" long by 1/4" wide,
through which I can see the actual steering linkage.  I'm guessing that
this is not a good way to keep the steering in my truck in tip-top shape
(not that it was to start with, but that's another story), so what I want
to know is, what was covering that hole on trucks that were originally
floor-shifted?

Thanks in advance,
