Re: Pics of Custom Dashboards
Ok...let me expound here....it's definitely not for the meek...but I did the 55 dash with usual small shop welding tools...ALOT of head scratching...the dash without the curves is only 48" wide..soooo U have to add 3.5" in middle and 5.5" on each end...fits perfect into the jambs and weatherstrips..I will use Dakota digital VHX gauges..with billet inserts custom from Pete's fab...this dash is only 2.5" lower than stock but I think makes all the difference in look....What I did you all can too...just lots of patience and an eye for "fit" needed...another trick was I did 90% of bodywork on the bench before permanently installing..way easier than crawling into truck.....with my big azz!!!.......
I like the 59-60 dash also...Have done a 99 chevy truck dash on last project but 86'ed it in favor of the 59-60 below..99 looks great with double humps..just cut the curve of windshield into it right where humps flatten....sold to someone else with no pics..but would be glad to help if someone wants it............jim
