Jon,

A picture would be very helpful but from your description it doesn't appear
to be a factory install or upgrade.
Reference the parts manual "Steering Column 5/2/1" for details on the OEM
set up.

<SNIP>  Apparently someone welded a metal bracket from the lower end of the
steering column and attached it to the firewall with a nut and bolt.  I'm
%99 sure this isn't stock, but please correct me if I'm wrong. 
I suspect that maybe this was a feeble attempt at fixing a broken lower
steering column bushing or something?  I wouldn't know because I don't know
what would be correct down there.

I can take a picture of this interesting finding if anyone wants to see it.

I will attempt to repair this properly to bring it back to original specs.
Any help on what should be there is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Jon
