Wow.....yours was really hacked!

Whoever hacked mine did a pretty crappy job....the hole is about 1/2" over to the left....so the knob hole is still visible on the passenger side

At least it was already hacked so i didn't have to feel bad about hacking it myself and installing a CD player

dinnut · 11-10-2003, 12:53 AM

are you gonna paint it? that dash looks pretty clean. did you tac weld it in?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-10-2003, 12:55 AM

Look's pretty good some one on crack must have rented a sawzall for that stereo install... Nice work..

Denny · 11-10-2003, 12:55 AM

Wow nice job, that PO really cut it big. Did you get a new front out of another truck?

jack'd up · 11-10-2003, 12:56 AM

I think the guy who had the truck before put a TV in the hole. I tack welded it along the dash pad seam and bolted it on both ends like the stock dash. Came out looking great.
Thanks, Dennis

Who me?

mcmlxix · 11-10-2003, 12:58 PM

I would love to be able to put a cd player or dvd/tv in the dash but I cant seem to bring myself to hack it up (yet)... I have a spare dash in a 72 doner blazer so I could always go back ... but thats a lot of work ... I think I'll just hide it in the glove box for now ...
