Dash Piece Pictures/Measurements

My truck came to me in rough shape, basically stripped of everything that could be stripped off. So i have no glove box door, ash tray or speaker cover.

As this will be a winery truck and used to haul barrels, grapes, wine, etc. I was thinking it would be cool to make up a custom wood dash out of used french oak wine barrels. I can't however, find any good pictures of a complete dash. Can someone post up some pictures? And i don't know if there is a set of measurements out there but that would be awesome too...

Thanks in advance

F-4 Dash

I can give dimension of my F-1 dash (in round numbers 46" wide) but cannot attach picture because I do not have 25 posts to FTE. The dash is not bolted in, it is part of A pillars and the windshield frame. My contact ac13387@dslextreme.com

I'm not necessarily looking for a picture of the dash unit, so much as pictures of the various pieces that fit into it. IE speaker grill and glove box door

Would these be of any help? It's also a 51 F4. Colors are not stock, but the glove box door, ashtray and speaker cover are original parts.





And I took the dimensions of the glove box opening when I replaced the glove box:

Here is the stock style of a 51-52... How bad did they cut yours out?

I have all of the parts you'll need (except the speaker grille cover) to finish your dash. Plus, many other parts that you may need.

Small tidbit... 51s had chrome starter buttons, while 52s had plastic as pictured above. The same push button was used as courtesy dome lamp switches that were inserted into door hinge pillars in 51-52 Extra cab (Deluxe) trucks.

you can attach pictures by uploading them to Photobucket or some such (your gallery, garage, profile...)

then pasting a link to the images in a post by pushing the mountain & sun icon in advanced edit, or typing it yourself by surrounding the URL with [img]... [/img] for each picture

you need to be a paying user ('supporter') to post directly (attachment)
