Yes, I've done it on Andy's SE. And the plank dashed Carledo.

You need the hanger bracket and double jointed fingers to fit the bolts at the top without pulling the entire dash out and you need longer bolts and about 1/2" spacers between the column bracket and the bottom rear of dash. that's about it!
