right hand drive Dashboard
Would anyone have or know where to get a right hand drive dash board from.
I have the glove box and trim but thats about it.
I dont think you can cut and reweld as it would not be a mirror finish.
any help would be greatful

It might be helpful if you told us what year truck dash you're looking for. But I can guarantee you which ever one you're looking for, there's far more of them in Australia than there are here in the states.

the 51/52 cannot be cut and flipped unless someone else knows how to. Oh yes Australia is where im located, they did export them here right hand drive. they have become vary scarce here, thanks for asking.

I have one.
I had to buy a cab to get one. You can guess how much $$$ I'd want for it!!
Wouldn't take long with a plasma cutter around the outside edges to remove as a whole piece though.
It seems like it would be easy to just weld in the selected pieces to the front, however, when you remove everything back to the 'flat' face, it is not a symmetrical distance from the windscreen....
One of my early ideas was to make a kustom symmetrical dash, using one RHD glove box lid plus one LHD glove box lid.....if you try to find where the flat face is to mount this idea, you will see just how much more complexity there is to these 51/52 faces - they almost have a twist....

Give this guy a try , I bought a 56 dash off him a while back .
He sometimes cuts up old rusty trucks , so worth a try .
