Under the dash pad?

I was thinking of removing my dash pad and painting the metal underneath along with the rest of the interior on my 75' C10. Does anyone have any pics of theirs without the dashpad. I was wondering if it is all metal or does it have holes or cutouts along the top? I like the smooth metal look and my dash pad has cracks in it anyways.

Re: Under the dash pad?

its non to pretty under the dash. it is metal but it is not smooth and has holes. check out pretty much any build thread and you will come across pics of the dash off.

Ditto. There's lots of access holes and stuff.

You can also check my build thread (link in my sig) for pics with no dash pad on.
