Blank instrument panel?

Anyone ever seen a blank (no holes) unpainted/chromed instrument panel that's exactly the same shape as the stock one?

I'm not looking for an aftermarket item like this one; I'm looking for essentially a stock item that just doesn't have holes in it, ideally completely bare.

Thanks!

Re: Blank instrument panel?

I,ve taken a glovebox door,filled the button hole,and chromed it to make a custom instrument panel.I've never seen one you can buy.

Yep, I've seen that approach a few times and I may end up going that way. It would certainly be sturdy enough and make mounting the gauges easiser!

I'm kinda thinking I want the exact same look on both sides between the panel and the glovebox; I'll paint the edges of both argent silver, and have a black textured vinyl center and arrange the gauges in a way that makes sense. I'm working through a blue/black/argent silver scheme for the truck...

Mine was chromed like original and painted body color.I did the glove box door to match.I want to make another one with recessed bezels to look more original.
