Two hole dash

I have a few of these, two large holes and the smaller one in the middle with the blinker arrows on it. Did any of these come with the chrome lip around the edge, or were they all painted?

As far as I know they all where painted. I have never seen one chromed.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

This is correct. I think you could also get the 68 style with chrome edges.

Re: Two hole dash

My K20 has chrome gauge surrounds. Showing the effects of age quite badly, but was once nice shiny chrome.

I have a chrome edge one here that has the choke hole in the upper right, but it was a choke delete dash so the word "choke" is not molded in.

Re: Two hole dash

For the earlier painted grey/silver ones I've found that silver brake caliper paint is a great match

Re: Two hole dash

I bought mine with the choke hole in the upper right that was just an open hole. I installed an old headlight switch to fill the hole and added a new knob to it. There are billet aluminum knobs on all three of my switches.

Re: Two hole dash

Ill have to see if anyone makes a repro chrome one. I like the workmanship people put in to their dashes when they use after market gauges, but I normally prefer stock for myself. Then I saw aod92's build thread. I really love his gauge panel and I want to do the same for one of my trucks (not my K20).

I would like to have the chrome so it matches the gauge lips. Also need to think of something to put in the center, maybe a clock or something?
