Wanted: Dash center section - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Slammed67 · 05-06-2003, 02:32 PM

I'm looking for a center section of a dash that has the radio hole and ashtray in original condition. I've decided to put my dash back to stock. JUST KIDDING! I want to figure out an easier way to mount my folding delete plate thingy and need a dash to work with. Does anyone have a junk cab that you can cut one out of? I really don't need to do this, but thought I could mess around with it in my spare time. Oh, what year did the ash tray design change???

slammed, I will be cutting the dash out of my truck soon and replacing with a ac dash. Problem is the center section has a "converted" ac vent hole. You many not want that. Let me know.

As long as the radio and ash tray holes are in tact, that's all that matters.

**1971Stepside** · 05-06-2003, 05:07 PM

both are in great shape. How big a hurry are you in?

Slammed67 · 05-06-2003, 05:10 PM

I'm in no hurry. I've got more important things to do like PAINT MY TRUCK! You are going to pass me up on the progress here pretty soon if I don't get my arse in gear!

Slammed,if you decide his isn't what you were looking for i just cut the dash out of my parts truck and it's perfect except for the minor cuts on the top edges/corners where the pipe saw bumped it.

I have a whole cab you can have lol. Its already cut for the cd player though. Not a hack job but cut none the less.
Bring your torch (or we can use the shops) and you can have whatever you want out of it.

**1971Stepside** · 05-07-2003, 09:26 AM

It is yours if you want it. I will take a photo of it and post here soon so you can make the call. I plan to cut it out sometime this Summer. I can drop it by your house the next time I'm in KC. If you come up with another before then let me know.

I don't think I will pass you up! I'm saving for the motor and it is going to take me a long while to come up with 10K. Besides it is boating season now, so I'm off to the lake a lot on the weekends.
