1953 3100 Dash replacement- How to help

[Greg4124]

I am new to this site and have been learning how to work on a 1953 replacement cab for my 49 truck. However, the cab I have has had some pretty severe cut outs at the instrument cluster and several new holes cut/drilled through it in places, which makes me feel that welding/body work is out of the question and I should replace the dash itself with an aftermarket dash available... I need to know if there is a video or other resource available to show me how to actually remove and replace a dash of this era. Can someone please get me started in the right direction for this type of task (step 1 through ??).

Thank you for whatever help or advise you can provide me in this attempt
