Like most old vehicles, my truck had the dash butchered to accept a cassette player. Since the interior was painted before I got the truck, welding in a repair panel is not an option so I made a face plate out of aluminum so i can go back to the original radio (actually it's a '63 and the truck a '64).I'ld much rather have it factory but, untill I find a better solution, this will have to do. I'm going to get the proper black arm rests and then powder coat the door panels metallic charcoal. It'll go well with the black kick panels and the black floor Rubber mats now but soon to be black carpet)and break up all the faun some. I might do this face plate in met carcoal also. We'll see. I'm also considering cutting a boarder then cutting horizontal strips (blackened) to match the lower panel on the insterment cluster OR just cutting a boarder to make it match the lower panel on the glove box. What does everyone else do to hide/fix a butchered dash when you don't want to repaint the interior?.
