I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for. Do you need a picture of the frame itself or the plate that holds the switches? This one is from a 68 Plymouth RR (non rallye)

Scott,
Go figure...It looks like I'm missing that piece or was it something added on for later/different models? - mine is 68 RR.

Jim, I'm not 100% sure on this but I believe it was just on 70's non-rally. it is actually there to hold the lower dash pad in place with two mounting screws that screw into this bracket. Maybe someone with more knowledge about 68-69 b-bodys can shed some light on this, but I do know the lower dash assembly was completly different in 70, Hope this helps.
70RT, I have tons of pictures of 70 non rally dash pics from my Coronet RT if you need them. let me know, I'm actually in the process of reassembling mine now after restoring each component.

Not found on 69/68 Plymouths as far as I know. Must be for the 70s and up?

That would make sense, I'm out working in the garage today and checked out my dash set up. That bracket looks to have some clips to retain hardware pointing up from the lower pad?? It does not appear to be needed for the 68 and probably 69 as well. Learn something new every day...
One more small bit of advice. Try to test all the gauges on the bench before installation into the car. Go with the solid state 5V instrument regulator from RTE. Also, my tach that I tested years ago decided not to work when I got the engine running. I pulled it off from behind the dash (pain in the a$$)and got a kit from RTE as well. It is much happier now!
One more shot of the dash...

Thanks Jim, I'll take note on making sure everything functions. I would only like to assemble this dash 1 time and not any more.
