The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Dash change what do you think?

I've had this idea for months, while driving my 55 210. I've always liked my car dash so I thought I would put it in my truck if I could find. Well I found it and I think its a keeper.

Looks good! Interested in how much you had to modify it to make it fit? Any pics of where new dash meets firewall area?

I cut right at the edge of the old dash and cut the new dash to fit. So I was able to retain all the clips and defrost ducts of the old dash. There was a about 2 1/2 to 3 inches that had to be taken out of the 55 car dash to make it fit. Also the humps had to be relief cut and bent into shape at the rear. I'm not finish yet I'm gonna add metal in the kick panel area to make flow like the old dash, but thats the easy part.

Looks great. Nice work. Looks like it belongs there.

Here go the pics you requested.
