Dash pad with gage inserts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

86swb · 08-03-2005, 07:42 AM

Has anyone installed the dash pad that is made with gage inserts? Also where can you buy one of these? I saw an artical some time ago on this but can not fine it now that I am interested in doing this to my "70.

I was considering this too. The site is here. Don't know anything about installing though.

86swb · 08-03-2005, 07:52 AM

Thanks for the address joker. That is the one. But there was an artical on installing one of these. Does anyone have this?

86swb · 08-03-2005, 07:55 AM

Never mind. I see the site you gave me also has instruction on how to install. Thanks

I've seen those in the past. I still can't get past the price

matthufham · 08-03-2005, 10:52 AM

$299.00 direct from the manuf in black.
$60.00 charge for other colors.
$69.00 shipping

Very nice dash, we've posted on that a few time before. Still not worth the $$ for my project

There is apossibility that they will be at the HAN Swap Meet tomorrow. If so I will talk to them and see if we can get a group price.

I like the stock and both of the aftermarket dashes but having the gauges where you can read them would be nice. If they were real with their pricing and shipping costs they would probably sell five times the dashes.

panhandler62 · 08-03-2005, 11:34 AM

I would like the pad without the gauge pods.

Alan Potter · 08-03-2005, 11:40 AM

Has anyone had any experience with the reproductions. My original needs to be replaced, but I don't care for the ones with the gauges, I'd like to keep it original looking.

I can't imagine more then one or two companies actully reproduce the dash pads the resellers offer.

I'm interested in just having mine redone? I'm not quite at that stage yet

86swb · 08-03-2005, 11:54 AM

Wow, $300.00 plus ride.

Have to do more thinking on this.

But would really look great.

Here's a decent pic of one I saw at the Owensboro show last month

I have to agree

matthufham · 08-03-2005, 06:11 PM

wait what is that? a full cover minus the gauges? where can i buy one of those?

86swb · 08-03-2005, 04:35 PM

Hmmmm, red interior. That cost him anither $60.00 on top of cost of the pad and ride.

86swb · 08-03-2005, 05:43 PM

Group price-that sounds good. I think the shipping is a little high. Keep us in touch.
