It fits into the dash where the original speaker/ash tray went uses the same bolt holes. [IMG]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/6751/48to53adtruckdashinsertnq9.th.jpg[/IMG]I tried hard not to have to touch the dash, but I'll need to knock the divider out between the speaker and ash tray opening. And a small radial notch for the big gage. I'll most likely leave the metal and just move it so the dash could be restored if desired. I could have more cut if folks were interested.

Ive been wanting to make a similar item that would mount 4 2-1/16" gauges in that center section. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 610 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 610 | About how much would one of these cost? Can one be made out of say plain steel so it can be painted? Price depending I may be interested as I would like to mount my 4 2-1/16" gauges in the center section but don't really want to have to make a panel to weld in and one that would screw in would be great. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | it wouldnt take much to make a die set to stamp these out of 18 gauge.
