I just got finished fixing my dash in the '50 3100. I do have to confess that I wasn't the first one to start hacking on it, but I did add to the carnage in my teens when I first got the truck in 1977. I had to laugh at the various holes and cuts as a trip down the history of car stereo. Let's see those holes looks like a cheap Craig, then to a '70's Pioneer and that's definately a early eighties Blaupunk . . . I was cutting, welding and hammering for a bit. (I do believe that about half the work I am doing in this resto is fixing the stupid stuff I did years ago.) I have seen a truck where a guy hand carved a wooden sculpture to cover a hole and another one where a guy fabbed a sheet metal drawer for change.
Good luck,
Steve O
