Dash repair - Flood of Pics!

[62lwbc10]

Dear All, I love the old trucks and have had a few of em. I particularly like the 58-59's, and I presently own a 58 Apache short step. Like many of these oldl trucks, my current truck had molestation in the dash, in the area of the radio. Personally, I cant stand when I see this type of damage in the radio area, even if its a nicer truck, such damage cheapens the whole appearance (IMO). Anyway, I got tired of looking at it, so I ordered the patch panel and decided to fix it. Pics follow which documented the whole process. In the end, I decided to go for a two tone style dash. Hope some of you find the pics informative/entertaining. Overall process took two days, approximately 8-10 total manhours.

Regards,
Mark
