Hey Wynne, I saw this in this months Classic Trucks magazine and thought you might like this dash. It replaces the stock dash. Its kind of pricey, but looks nice in these trucks.

I saw that somewhere recently, but I still think I'm going back stock both for simplicity and cost.

Those dashes are pretty sweet. Pricey, but would look awesome in a full blown custom ! I'd probably remove the indentation on the pass. side for a smoother look ! :)

To me, yours is hard to beat Chris. I'd love to go that route with mine.

No not yet but I hope to get started soon. Maybe around Christmas. I did pick up a set of buddy bucket seats and a custom dash bezel for it recently. Thinking about bright red on red now, but my mind could change before I get to that point. :D

Yeah I plan to put a stock style dash back in it and will probably use a billet bezel with custom gauges. Anybody need a custom made dash?

Does it look as big in flat in person as it does in that pic? It's looks like one of those things that one way I look at it I like it, but another way it' doesn't look right. Maybe one of those things that has to grow on ya. :?: He definately did some nice work on it though.

Yeah to me it's too flat in the middle. It needs something, I just can't figure out what, lol.
