59 Impala dash in my truck

It needed about 6 inches removed to fit with modifications on the side, what do you think?

Re: 59 Impala dash in my truck

I say huge improvement. Thats about the most unattrative thing on the Advance Design trucks, that dash board. I'd say you did a super job on that install.

Re: 59 Impala dash in my truck

Looks sweet... IMO would be even better with stock appearing gages.
