Seems like someone took pieces, or just the bottom of a glove box door and mounted it under the heater controls for an aftermarket gauge panel.

Tim ... Remember the undeleted radio delete plate I gave away as a prize on the board a little while back? I think it was actually a pretty good idea by whomever did it.
I guess that's what I was thinking of... but didn't know it. Undeleted delete, sounds like the little birdies singing outside my window.

That under dash gauge panel is a good idea!

That sure does count.

Good eye on that. Someone made that door skin just for your Panel's quarter.


I love what this person did. Just a fun machine you could build from a crapped out C/10. Shorten frame, a cut here, a weld there, and you have an El Cheapo hop over the side 2wd Cruiser Blazer. I want to built one!
