Re: smooth dash????

My cab is in the bodyy shop now should be ready in a couple of weeks. I didnt smooth the complete dash only the center section radio, ashtray, ignition/ac control/lighter. I'll post pics when its comes out. Still trying to figure out where to put the ignition.

Re: smooth dash????

Ididit sells collums with the ignition in it like the later model pickups. I looked at an 87 collum but its almost 10" longer. I gotta keep the A/C vent for cool air. Im leaning toward ididit or hiding under dash.

Re: smooth dash????

Pretty old thread but I finally got around to shooting some pics of the dash center section smoothed. Not sure if I like it or not. You really cant tell much without the rest of the dash put together but Im out of money since the wife aint working. Anyway heres the pics.
