Instrument cluster update
I haven't been in a hurry to get the truck back on the road. Too many other projects going on but I did take time this weekend to work on the dash panel. Last year I had a stainless dash made and I liked it but it didn't have a tach. Not that I really cared but my son and one of my buddies kept giving me a hard time so I added one.
I am also in the process of installing an EZ-Wire harness and everything is in except for the dash panel so maybe I can kill two birds with one stone here.
So, here are few pictures of the new stainless steel dash panel:
All the holes drilled out -
Gauges and switches in. No radio yet. for the heater controls I am running a 3-way toggle for the fan and cables for the heat and defrost controls -
and here it is bolted into the dash panel itself. I still have to install the dash pad. -

Thanks 4wyndr. Keith, I am not understanding what you are saying. It is a stainless steel dash panel. why would I want to cover it?

He's not covering it because the bare steel look is what he's going for. Agreed, looks great.

Here is the old one. We are going to use it in the race truck, but if anyone is interested we have the pattern and can get these made.
