Can somebody send me a link of a pic showing the dash (before putting the radio). I just bought a 1952 1/2ton 3100 and I don't know if the dash has been cut or not. I can see the two cercles around the rectangle where the radio goes but the cercles are only halfcut and are part of the rectangle (Basically, I need a geometry lesson)...

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the pic, My opening is bigger, actually opens all the way to half of the 2cercles... I wonder if the previous owner tried to cut it and then stopped...
wierd. I will try to take a pic and show you.

Again, thanks for the info.

Wow, there is some very nice work going on with that truck, Neil.
That is some pretty nice fabrication you have done there.

Thanks Fred. I need to update my photos soon. I am almost finished with the floors and the driver's side of the cab. I wish I could afford a decent welder the one I have is a SIP that is a real pain work with. I can't wait to paint the dash and put the radio in.

Peioa...I guess I was lucky,mine was 'unmolested' apart from two holes drilled just at the centre bar of the windshield.
Here's how it should look. Radio delete plate.
