47-53 dashes
Looking for some pictures of customized 47-53 dashes. Not wanting to copy anyone's work, just want to see what everyone has done. Im not 100% sure on what I want to do, so far my plan is: weld up the holes for the radio and weld in a filler panel where the center speaker cover/grill and ash tray was. So far Im keeping the glove box for storage reasons. Basically any holes not used will get filled. Another thing I was thinking of, since I have two 5" gauges (1 speedometer and 1 tachometer) in the stock gauge locations, I was going to mount my 4 smaller 2-1/8" gauges at a angle towards the driver were I weld in the speaker grill filler panel.
Then do I either paint the dash or cover it in vinyl...

Re: 47-53 dashes
I bought a dash for a 47 Chevy car with the intentions of putting it in my truck. Never installed it though.
Same era, and if its done well I think a lot of people would just assume it came that way. |

Re: 47-53 dashes
this is mine it is a fiberglass cover that goes over the existing dash from verdine performance. way less work than welding in fillers.

How does it attach to the stock dash?

Re: 47-53 dashes
you can screw it or bond it to the original dash. it fits the odash like a glove. I will probably bond mine on. I also bought the 3 inch wider rear fenders from them.
