Lose ignition switch

The ignition switch has come lose on this '56 Ford F100. If I hold the mount I can start the truck, but otherwise the key will turn the switch. Ive looked for a screw or way to tighten it back up but do not see anything obvious. Anyone know the trick to it?

Thanks

If the 56 is like the 55 which I think it is there is a spring that goes against the dash from the back side which keep pressure on the chrome bezel on the outside to keep from falling off; there is also a cup that fits over the ignition switch. Check Midfifty's catalog for a picture of both items.
