Red plate on the firewall for dash pad looks OK to me,not sure about the last picture if the black part it screwed right..If you ask me 2 months ago I had the original dash pad with me but I moved it to NC ,so I cant help you with that..I would try if it fits good or not...If you bought the dash pad like that iis most likely correct

It is hard to tell from the photos provided. Here is a shot pulled from the classifieds of a 77 tub.
To my eye, yours looks too flat compared to the photos above.

You know what,TC is probably right.... his picture is more correct,but not much difference...Just bend it up a little and try to slide the pad on it and see...My aftermarket fj40dash.com pad don't have that angle metal screwed inside...And it holds just fine without it....
bend the tabs up, they look flush.

edit what antFJ posted i missed his post above doh!
that angled piece on the dash pad may be upside down, i did not know it was removable .these pads can be hard to get on sometimes.
are all the tabs on your tub bend up a bit to catch that piece on the pad and snap into it .i usually have to bend the tabs up on the tub a bit to catch the dash pad easier

The tabs on the dash piece are bent up a little and the dash pad does catch. Feels like its trying to go on, just too flat, I guess. I'll bend that whole dash support piece up closer to TCSTARK's picture. thanks, that helps a lot.
