I finished My custom dash
After a lot of deliberation i've come up with this dash for my truck, I got the idea of cutting out the centre of the original dash and making up a panel to go on top from one of the board members then added my own personal touches,
What do you think ? |

Re: I finished My custom dash
Neat lookin dash...Great creativity. One question...your truck only goes 80mph? I realize that would be exceeding the speed limit

Re: I finished My custom dash
Gauges are made by TPI.
70 cst The speedo is on the right hand side because I have converted the dash to right hand, I have also used a locally made chassis with all the rhd components, "Good pickup though " |

Re: I finished My custom dash
I'dlove to see one in right hand drive. I'd never swap mine for one no matter how much more convenient it would be, at least sitting on the left makes it easier for me to watch the ladies on the pavement in summer!

Re: I finished My custom dash
I like IT!!! If you are going FASTER than 80 MPH you should be looking at the ROAD and NOT the SPEEDO!!!!

Re: I finished My custom dash
How are your brake and gas pedals set up, is the brake pedal to the right or the left of gas pedal. Do you use your left foot or right to drive. Sorry for all the questions just curious.

Re: I finished My custom dash
Mike, the gas pedal is on the right and brake on the left, so it's still the same as you guys

Re: I finished My custom dash
If its setup normally then its exactly the same as you, gas pedal to the right then brake then clutch to the left if its a manual.
