'93 F-150, there's a black metal plate on the firewall right next to the
brake booster. Looks like a good spot to drill a hole and run
wiring/piping for my aux. gauge panel and cap/trailer hookups. Any
problems with this plan? Doesn't look like any kind of special
structural reinforcement, but you never know.

if anyone knows a quick reply would be appreciated as if I don't have
one in the next couple hours I'll probably go ahead and do it :)

thanks

If this is an automatic, it is most likely the access point for the
clutch shaft.

makes sense, but it's on the opposite side of the steering column from
where the steering column is... is there some kind of bellcrank inside
the cab?

Drilling away...
