Quick question about dash interchange...
Will the dash from a '61 Chevy fit my '66 GMC? I like the double bump version but wasn't sure about interchange since the '61 has the wraparound windshield...
Thanks guys -John

Re: Quick question about dash interchange...
You will have to change the entire dash. Meaning the part that is spot welded into the trucks. I've seen a pic or two of it done but it does require a bit of work to make it fit. I like the '60-'63 dashes also.

Cool so it will work. Yeah, the guy I can get the dash from said something about spot welds. I'm sure those can be delt with lol.
Thanks -John

Re: Quick question about dash interchange...
Yeah, there is a s*** load of spot welds where the dash meets the cowl under the windshield. Then there are a couple bolts where the dash meets the side of the cab above the kick panel.

Re: Quick question about dash interchange...
Im smack dab in the middle of installing a 61 dash in my 65 GMC. Everything matches up excellent. You just have to fabricate the end pieces where it would meet the door jam area. I will try to get a pic or two when I'm finished with it.
