There are two slotted oblong spacers about 1/8 inch thick that go between the dash and the brackets as spacers for the column. Back then we were smaller people and manufactures were concerned about too much room in the cockpit instead of like now not enough. That's why they had long bolts under the dash to lower the wheel to people by adding spacers. Yours are missing or incorrectly installed. A lot of time they fall on the floor and people think they go between the bolt and the bracket. If they are missing just use two or three flat washers on each side of the column to drop it to a comfortable location. Look at you seat pedestals they are adjustable up down forward and back.

Subject: Re: Steering column rub
I tried a few weeks back to get the instrument panel out & read that you needed to lower the steering column. I have been working on it the last few days & it looks like I just need to put a shim of some sort between the steering column & where it mounts to lower it just enough so it doesnt rub.
