Those dashes are cool - and very easy to put other inserts, etc. in. Easier to mess with than ours.

I was trying to find a medium duty crew cab to plop on my regular cab frame for this very reason. I like the look of those dashes. Ended up selling that truck and then getting my crew. Ah well...

Dash looks good.

The turn signals are non-self cancelling, right?

Thanks.

Yes, they are non-canceling signals.

I am very interested in one and was wondering if you could make something for the passenger side? I want gauges where the factory radio location is and a double din radio slot where the glovebox is.

I haven't really messed around with the glove box area, but anything is possible.

Here are a couple of pics I took tonight, one with the dash lights on and no flash and one with flash.
It looks like I have to see if the green cover fell off one of the gauges. I am planning on keeping the speedo white though.
