Re: check out this dash
Considering the dash pad is foam based, it should not be to terribly difficult. Looks like they made the glove box door out wood, so that is all carving. They just cover the mess in vinyl. You'll definitely need to upgrade your trucks electrical system.

Re: check out this dash
you will need to make a similar one to mount a tv under the bed in the spare tire area

Re: check out this dash
I'd just put in one large tv rather than 2 smaller ones.

Re: check out this dash
near the pillar looks pretty square, and for an a/c truck, that center vent is now useless. i like the idea and look of the dash pad, but the glovebox door should remain stock.

Re: check out this dash
Hey this setup is kinda cool. Is there any company that makes a radio, nav sytem that you can use a flat screen tv to control, like a touch screen? I think i saw something on Pimp my ride but i can't find anything like that on the net when i search. The setup in the pic looks awsome, I'd just do one screen too.

Re: check out this dash
I doubt they'd do all that work just to cover it in vinyl. My guess is that the whole dash is getting fiberglassed. The door panels look glassed. It's a ton of work, but nothing looks better than a good glassed and painted interior if done right.

Sharp eyes you have there 67 Fleet. I've never liked dealing with the stuff myself (fiberglass) but I admire the guys that make it work.

Re: check out this dash
I think it looks pretty good. Forget the screen in the glovebox though, clutters up the look too much. With some custom paint, that has the potential to be bad ass.

Re: check out this dash
Ya, maybe round the edge off a bit too, but it obviously a work in progress. Nice kick panels too.
