It doesn't have to be a chevy dash i just want to emprove the look of the current dash. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Actually the GMC fleet option trucks used the Chevy style instruments.
I take it your dash has the painted panels with the white guage surrounds. You could replace them with the turned metal ones with chrome surrounds from a deluxe cab. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 120 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 120 | Well they should have used the gmc dash in the fleet truck to match those ugle headlight assemblees | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 3 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 3 | I wouldn't start cutting into your dash just yet until you know which dash is going back in. The possiblities are endless. I have seen a '59/'60 impala dash on a '50 pickup and it looked custom, but part of the old dash was blended into the new dash. There was a lot of metal work done to make it look good. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | Why not sell the truck and buy another truck with the dash you want?
