I wanna rebuild my dash, where to get... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The right color paints and decals for the guages? Need the right kind of green for the inside of the case and the right orange for the needles. Also the decals for all of them. Is there a source out there? Thought I saw one at one time, but search has not revealed anything. Thanks, Jeff.

search e-bay for durango designs... or something like that for overlays
The case, you might want to try white instead of that green, the guages will light up WAY better at night...onless you actually like that green, or you are lookin to do a 10000 point over-restoration.
Board member Byrd can hook you up with everything you'll need.

Here is my dash as of now, I'm putting an order together for Byrd to get the right tins for the tach so I can install my factory tach. I used silver overlays and painted my needles Tangelo to match my truck.

PM Byrd, Randy will hook you up with all you need.

I really like that silver color guage look.

BigMike · 09-10-2006, 09:36 PM

I'll have to paint the ring around the guages to match them better than the silver that is currently on it. I'll paint the new tin the correct silver when I get it.

I am positive I read on here that someone had found a matching color green for the bezel at a hardware store or something. Anyone remember this being discussed?

Thanks Longhorn, I'll check that out. I just wanted it to be correct, if white works better, I'm all for it.

Mike, thats a really sharp truck! Love that color scheme. I talked to Byrd about the two part case, but didn't think about the paint. I'll get with him again.

Thanks guys, and keep the help coming! Jeff.
