Wood Grain Dash Insert - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jay55jay · 03-31-2010, 07:37 PM

I had a 89 Dually that had a Wood Insert over the Gauges and across the dash and doors. I can't find them anywhere. Anyone have any info if they are still around here is a pic I really wanna try and get a set. Thanks. Jay

those are aftermarket made by a custom coach company.. those are not factory . You can prolly make your own with a scroll saw and a sander

b454rat · 03-31-2010, 08:33 PM

I have some in my crew, think it was made by Choo Choo Customs. Looks similar to that, but since I haven't seen the truck in what seems like ages, can't be sure.

Thinking of taking it out and going with billet aluminum.

jay55jay · 03-31-2010, 08:47 PM

Hey if you are gonna do that I will buy it off you. I cant find it anywhere.

You can order them from wabbits inc. at the following websight;

http://www.wabbitsww.com/Pages/HomePage.html

Or even through www.stylintrucks.com
Just enter your vehicles info
then click on the interior link
Then on the "Dash kits,covers & accessories link

And since I'm not offering to sell or buy to a non-subscribed user but just offering up info as to where he can find what he's looking for, That shouldn't violate any rules does it? I'd hope not.

gotta keep that in mind

WigglesTheHoly · 04-01-2010, 12:26 AM

i really really like that center console.

GmtGmt · 04-01-2010, 06:35 AM

OH MY GOD THANKS BLE'BURBAN

Cant you post some more pics of that 89 Dually Jay?

b454rat · 04-01-2010, 07:58 AM

Here is some crappy pics of mine. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it. I like aluminum, but I need a center console, that would be expensive to make. At least the wood is there for one, and it's cheap and easy to make....

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 08:15 AM

That's exactly what I am looking for I would buy the dash kit and the door inserts to.

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 08:23 AM

Here are some more pics but I get depressed because I sold it.

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 08:25 AM

I actually had another conversion dually that I sold and kick myself for selling that one to here are those pics.

b454rat · 04-01-2010, 08:28 AM

That last one is pretty close to what mine used to look like...but wish mine was in that nice of shape...

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 08:46 AM

It was a really cool Dually had some rust in the door sills and door bottoms. I got a 4 by 8 Sheet of Diamond plate and fixed that right up Poor mans body work. LOL..LOL So I am going to call one of those places above later see what kinda price they give me on a dash kit. If you ever wanna sell just let me know. Jay

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 03:39 PM

Ok so I called the place above Wabbits when the guy told me the price I had to call 911 because my heart stopped. When the numbers 450 came Out of his mouth I almost died. Thats a little much for some dash pieces I think.

ECU PIRATE · 04-01-2010, 03:53 PM

I started a mock up for some wooden pieces (using Cherry hardwood) on my 82'. I am at the dash insert (ising 73-80 dash) and door panel trim right now. The dash bezel trim is another story. I am about half way throgh making templates right now out of cardboard. Let me tel you what kind of pain in the a*& that is. They are probably cutting it on a CNC machine which is alot easier than using a ban and scroll saw. For $ 450 they must be using mahogany or something!!!!!!!!!!!!I have some pics in another thread on here is you want to check them out.

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 04:19 PM

OMG I know I tried myself using Hole saws and a Jig saw and a Dremmel What a Pain is right the wood splintered. Forget about getting it even I gave up.

knightowl73 · 04-01-2010, 07:03 PM

jay55jay where did you get the rear lip spoiler/wing on the red dually? ive been lookn for one of those.

jay55jay · 04-01-2010, 08:30 PM
