Dash Pad
I removed the dash pad today and was just going to leave it off but looked at it and it has a metal liner underneath, so I stripped the padding away.
Thinking of finish stripping and paint and return to truck. |

Re: Dash Pad
That might be pretty cool, are you going to fill the holes?

Re: Dash Pad
No, I was thinking of leaving it that way, that industrial, aircraft look.

Re: Dash Pad
Go ahead and try it. Post a pic after, so we can decide if you made a mistake or not

If you don't have A/C you could run a mister.

 With the holes filled (would probably be easier to roll a piece of sheet metal and weld it in), I think it would look great. Cant say I am a fan of the way it is now. The dash pad as a "safety" feature always makes me laugh. You should use 3 pt belts to begin with
