This might sound pretty stupid, but here goes...

Are the dashes bolted in, or welded in, in a '60 - '66 truck? The panel I have has a serious case of "dash hack" and is cut all to hell! So, can a metal dash be unbolted from a donor and installed, or do I need to weld patches into my existing dash?

The dash is welded in. Most suppliers list a radio repair panel to patch cut-up dashes like yours. I repaired my own and made a standard size hole that fits all the new aftermarket CD players.
