It looks to be about the right size and shape to be an HVAC duct bracket; perhaps the driver's side, just about in the steering column area. A previous owner of my '68 4-4-2 installed something similar when a couple of the molded mounting tabs broke off.

I mentioned a radio tie-down strap in an earlier post because in the day, mid-late 60's & early 70's when I owned a couple 442's (67' & 72'), I (like many owners) replaced/upgraded the OEM radio with those oh-so-awesome (sic) 8-track AM/FM stereo tape players [which generally lasted all of about 5-6 months (if you were lucky)]. I believe I replaced at least three or four 8-track tape players &/or stereos in both the 67' & 72' vehicles. Each time you replaced one, it seems each came with a tie-down strap different from the previous one!

I looked under the dash and cant seem to see anywhere that the piece would go. I am gonna keep it in case I ever figure it.
