Custom dash

[azsmokey]

I could not really find any threads that had any substance to them, so i thought I would ask the question!

Has anyone started from scratch and built a custom dash. If so, what materials did you use? Metal, fiberglass, wood, carbon fiber, any combination of the previous?

We are rebuilding our 72 from the ground up and the OEM interior does not really do anything for me any more. We are planning a subwoofer enclosure that will replace the in-cab gas tank. A center console will go from there up to the dash. It would be nice to redo the dash as well. We bought a 2003 Silverado SS as our donor vehicle and it has a nice interior. We will use the seats and a lot of other parts from the interior. The gauge cluster is nice as well and I will try to incorporate that, in addition to the steering column and wheel (minus airbag) into the 72.

I have used glass before but it can be a pain after a while. My question again is has anyone done a complete or partial dash replacement? If so, what did you do and do you have any pics? Please elaborate on materials, etc... Are there any companies that make replacements for the 67-72? I have seen a myriad of units however none for my specific truck.

Thanks!
