Re: 67 drag truck dash

Re: 67 drag truck dash
I think for in the dash,that`s great.Although the tach is straight ahead in the factory position,it`s through the wheel and smaller.It`s just as easy to glance down and right as it is to glance straight down,maybe easier.Looks like the "hot set-up" to me.
Now you could mount a killer stereo in the instrument panel area   .

Re: 67 drag truck dash
Did you angle it towards the driver side? That would avoid any glare that you may have.

Re: 67 drag truck dash
I say put the tach and speedo in front of you in the "other" glove box and leave the rest of the gauges where you put them but angle them a little by slicing some pipe and welding them to the dash angled. Like the left glove box idea. That would eliminate the plastic surround. I like it.
