Except for those guages (they just don't look right in that truck to me) I love what he did. It is clean and understated.

pcmcobra · 11-13-2006, 10:48 PM

I like the dash, smaller gauges would look better to me.

mySAVIOReigns · 11-13-2006, 10:58 PM

I agree, those gauges look really tacky - I bet when you're driving they're difficult to see because of the downward tilt.

**N2TRUX** · 11-13-2006, 11:41 PM

That truck was built by and for Todd a forum member here. It may not be exactly to your liking but it is a very well built truck.

pcmcobra · 11-14-2006, 12:10 AM

I do love the interior, looks like they leather wrapped the dash.

sweet! gaudges is the only change i would make they kinda give it a off the shelf look but everything else is class a great stock lines smooth and fast looking nice wood bed too.

87 STEPPER · 11-14-2006, 07:36 AM

Two things i dont like that jumped out at me right away the insturments and that hidious red & black plaid interoir material.

And i think i would of left the window switches on the door panels instead of mounting them on the rear of the shifter housing.

It looks like it would be a little aukward to have to reach over that far to put the window up & down.

Other than that it looks like a very nice truck.

Grande Rojo · 11-14-2006, 09:35 AM

I like everything about that truck

75silverstep · 11-14-2006, 07:58 PM

I like it ..Those gauges come all togeather with the bezel..I put mine in with the billet .Ya they face down alil but how often do you look at them.HAHA...

boatpuller · 11-14-2006, 08:37 PM

man.. i like it too..i'd take it without any gauges.

Bad71chev406sbc · 11-15-2006, 01:09 AM

Saw this thing at SEMA '04...was in love with it....I had completely forgotten that it was a Boyd truck.

**Captkaos** · 11-15-2006, 06:29 PM

If you don't like those guages, you won't like what Convan's is offering for these trucks. Unless he changed it, his dash is factory.

hiway · 11-15-2006, 08:59 PM

Nice work for sure. Mexico trucks had wood in the fleet sides right? Even chains for the tailgate. I really like the clean overall look.

tom coop · 11-15-2006, 09:12 PM

i like the truck, even the guages. id have to stay away from the plaid. and i agree, horrible placement of the window switches.

I don't mind the gauges, I think they look pretty sweet. I like the carbon fiber dash bezel, but they need to make a carbon fiber insert for the dash. Maybe they do? I haven't seen one................
