Here's what I did:

1. Carefully remove the braces for the dash assembly without horribly 
distorting them.
2. remove the old box with a chisel or spot weld drill (Take care not to 
distort the area around the box)
3. Place the new box in the hole
4. I brazed mine in.  There is not enough room at this point to use a spot 
welded
5. Braze or weld the braces back in
6. prep and paint.

Time consuming but not terribly difficult.
