I'm with everyone else on this one.. Too much cash...
I do like how it goes all the way down to the window edge though. And if you could have your choice of Autometer gauges, Then Maybe?? Or if they offered it at a reasonable cost without the gauges at all... |

The Company does make an excellant product and their restorations of factory dashes is top notch,but for OUR trucks,with such a simple design,it should NOT cost what they are chargeing.

I like the looks if you could get rid of the extra gauge holes. I like the idea of it going all the way to the w.s.

I like both the full dash coverage and the gauge pods. Easy, albeit expensive, way to have more gauges that are very visible to the driver without having to hang a knee-banging, underdash gauge pod/bracket or, God forbid, cut the dash. I guess I'm no purist. The again, I won't cut a dash for extra gauges, either.

Someone had a similar thread a few weeks ago. I am making a dash that will extend to the windshield but i dont plan to put any gauges in it and i plan to round mine off a little more like the factory pad. At that price i dont imagine they plan on selling too many of those.

The "going all the way to the windshield" is the ugliest part about it.
I can live with the gages. |

some one is obviously buying them or how could they market them?If they sold for around $175.00 there would be a lot of them in these trucks.

IIRC, Just Dashes can make that dash without the gauge pod openings, so you'd get a stock looking dash that goes to the windshield.
