Dash is almost finished, what ya think??
 

As some of you know I am still building my military themed truck. I really need to update mt build thread on here since it has been a while. I tried to do the dash to look like a old military plane. I still have more to go but I think it looks kind of cool so far, what do you think???

cool; as long as you remember where the important gauges are (spedo).. lol

The speedo is still in the original location. This is the area by the radio.....

The 60-66 was known as the Aero series based on aircraft design. The full gauge package seems a fitting tribute to both.

So are you a bomber B-24, or a fighter F4u, looks good.

I think it looks great! I love how you incorporated the air ride gauges and switches into it.

Where's the artificial horizon? I got one off ebay from an early 50's fighter a while back that I was going to put in my van but is now going into my 63 whenever I can seem to find the dang thing.

I really like the layout. I was going to do the same thing, but I was too far down the road with the current design before the idea occurred to me. I was going to have my kid machine up mounting rings that could be installed and removed over the gauge bezels from the front, allowing access to everything behind the dash while sitting in the driver’s seat.

Thats sweet! Where is the altimeter? j/k 8)

Thanks... Beleive it or not that was the girlfriends idea, I just made it happen...

Re: Dash is almost finished, what ya think??
 

I made the rings around the outer gauges, they are cheap summit gauges I tried to make look like the others..

Re: Dash is almost finished, what ya think??
 

Creep, I have been looking everywhere for one. I really wanter one of those and a large ALT gauge but aircraft stuff is SO exspensive!!! Even if they dont work they want a mint.....

I still have a few more switches to add and I have a pull knob going in the lower center labeled "EJECTION SEAT".. ;)
