Yes I had the crazy idea of doing it but was actually going to add another speedo cut out and one day I said to myself why not do a 55-56 dash insert piece so I found a dash assembly on the tri-five facebook thread bought it and just cut out the pass side and glove box integrated into the existing dash. The pass side is a built in color bar (70s thing) ill post a video once I assemble it

I also love that you used the '55 stainless instead of the '56. GREAT job. Just out of curiosity, where'd you find your dash. I've looked but never found one used.

Truck is eye candy. Would enjoy just sitting in a chair and staring at it for an hour or so. Your daughter is so cute! Been years since ours were that little. About our grandsons age.

Firewall pad on the inside or outside? Thinking inside. If you have sound deadener already applied, do you need one inside? I used a black trim cloth glued to the sound deadener on the last build. Made the silver disappear.
