Im Having the interior of my 78 freshened up in about 2 weeks, and I bought a custom Cluster outfitted with Phantom II Autometers... thing is i havent seen nottah one truck with the same or similar style fittings. Anyone have any interior shots they can share... i need some ideas on how i want to handle the look. My truck is currently as shown in my albums... i wanted to do a Blk/Gry theme, but now i think i want to keep the blue dash, and add some blk/gry contrast to it in order to break it up a bit. any input? Classic Dash :: Ford :: Ford Truck :: 1973-1979 :: Dashes with Auto Meter Gauges :: 1973-79 Ford Truck Black 6 Gauge Dash Panel with Auto Meter Gauges

 

 

Looks great. Did that dash mount OK without any trouble?

 

Looks like the gauges are pointing at the floor. For how much they are charging for those dash inserts I'd ask them to take it back and fix that...

 

For $919, I'd want my dash to look phenomenal. The dash in that link, honestly, looks like something I could fab up in a couple hours in the garage.

Flatten the dash out, cut some round holes and pop some gauges in....for almost a grand? Really? haha

I'm in the wrong business!

 

I've been looking at that exact dash...but I was going to purchase the dash alone, and pick up different gauges...been wanting to put gauges in the truck, just because I wanted a different look...
I'm guessing you went with the solid black dash?
how do you like it?
was it pretty much a direct swap with the old dash?

And what is the Color Code of your truck?

 

Anyone toyed with digital dashes? The Ford LTD came with them in the 90's, itd be awesome to fit one of them from a purely gadget based standpoint.

 

I thought about it, but I like seeing needles move. haha

 

Called Dakota Digital a while back to talk about the digital offerings. I too like the needles to move so asked if there was a VHX offering for our trucks. I was told it would be about 12 months; that was 5 months ago.

I would wait for the more modern gauge that fits the stock dash.
