This truck is on ebay. They took a 87 dash and drafted in to one of our trucks. What do you guys think. Ebay item # isItem # 1875137800

junkyardjohn · 12-23-2002, 02:06 AM

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE PUT A TON OF WORK INTO THAT INTERIOR. IT'S NOT EXACTLY FOR ME, BUT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

Longhorn Man · 12-23-2002, 02:16 AM

Not too bad. i figured it'd be ugly as sin...but they did an A_1 job.

Longhorn Man · 12-23-2002, 02:16 AM

Wron auction number though....that was for a radio.

jays68yak · 12-23-2002, 02:20 AM

Thats the wrong item number, whats the right one?

RON WOODGEARD · 12-23-2002, 02:24 AM

YES, Very nice job,, Not what I would want to do, but man it looks like beautiful work.
I'd like to have a better look at the Door panels.

Hey Guys,
The e-bay auction number is: 1875059705. Pretty cool truck!

bigvinnie · 12-23-2002, 03:04 AM

mild customization is cool, but that truck has been mod-ed beyond what is tasteful in my opinion... a restored original tach dash is as cool as it gets for me...

Tyler_69C10 · 12-23-2002, 03:45 AM

There's quite a few nice trucks on eBay right now. But I think longhornmail would especially get a kick out of this one:

Hey Ron ... the door panels are the ones for these model trucks from www.roddoors.com

toms68cst · 12-23-2002, 10:29 AM

That longhorn is pretty nice. I'd have to do away with that steering wheel though. You could also find better looking wheels. For 30k they could at least have found a straight undented tailgate!

70c10 · 12-23-2002, 12:55 PM

Very nice truck!

nevada70chev · 12-23-2002, 01:19 PM

looks like lots of work, but it came out nice....whats the rest of the truck like?

RON WOODGEARD · 12-23-2002, 01:40 PM

Thanks Shane,
I'll check them out.

Speaking of newer dashes, I was looking at a magazine I think it was sport truck or trucking. I saw one of our trucks with a new dash like whats in my 97 it looked cool but I cant find it again if anyone has that issue or a picture with a 67-72 with a newer dash please send it this way.

XXL · 12-23-2002, 02:48 PM

A year or two ago one of the truck mags did an article on a truck that had this model dash in it. That truck was also a minty looking green as this one appears to be. Same one??

The guy did a nice job, but if you like 87's then buy an 87. I pefer the look of the original dash

lukecp · 12-23-2002, 08:30 PM

I always liked the 73-87 dashes. The guages wrap around you a little more, and are a bit easier to see. They mush have had to narrow that one. Aren't the 73-87 trucks about 4-6" wider than the 67-72's?

Longhorn Man · 12-23-2002, 10:14 PM

That longhorn is cool, but not really done to my taste. Lots of detail and all though. I find it amusing when they state that only X% of the trucks had buckets....when his buckets were out of a later truck! LOl...
thanks for the link though.

RON WOODGEARD · 12-23-2002, 10:21 PM

The info on the auction says he had to cut it to fit. Whoever did it, did a very "clean" job, and the guy even added the DAKOTA DIGITAL gauges..

This guy has done the under hood as I want to, Just the right amount of chrome in the right area. A lot of work and money, Well spent in my opinion.
I would like to talk to him about his seats (what are they out of ?) and super trap exhaust.
Here's the description from the auction.
