1940 dash replace

[CSHADES]

I have been driving this truck since 1998. I did the dash in the style that I thought I really wanted back then which was a digital cluster in the original dash. I thought it was ok after I built it but I really like old style gauges with needles. I also really like chrome and funky looking dashes. So I had a customer bring me a 1946 olds to hot rod. I opened the door on it and thought that dash is very cool I wonder if I can make it fit in the truck? So I have been looking for a dash from a 1946-48 olds to graft into the truck. I found one on ebay a while back for too much money but it didn't sell so after the auction I emailed the seller and offered him a bit less and he accepted. So I have been working on fitting it to the truck. I used one of my parts cowls to set it up and weld on it. Last weekend I actually tried it in the 40 to see if it was going to clear everything. I did have to drop the steering column down about a 1/4 inch and drop the radio down and move it forward.
I have more to go but this gives you an idea on what I have in mind.
