I think a console from a jet fighter would be cool.

I've found that most of the old dashes out of tractors are pretty boring. Flat sheetmetal with guages, just the basics only. For instance here is the dash in a '55 IH Cabover that was in the truck museum

What about one from a train?

Could go Steampunk, could be Bullet train, or anything in between.
I like the Deco and Streamlined trains from the era of luxury rail travel here in the U.S. myself.

Desk top controls might be interesting in a truck.
