what do u guys think of this dash. i think the tv in my other truck would looks bad ass in there. how much trouble would it be to make one of these?

Considering the dash pad is foam based, it should not be to terribly difficult. Looks like they made the glove box door out wood, so that is all carving. They just cover the mess in vinyl. You'll definitely need to upgrade your trucks electrical system.

you will need to make a similar one to mount a tv under the bed in the spare tire area

lol

I'd just put in one large tv rather than 2 smaller ones.

blazerparts · 12-05-2005, 11:31 AM

where do you mount the dish?

matthufham · 12-05-2005, 11:39 AM

near the pillar looks pretty square, and for an a/c truck, that center vent is now useless. i like the idea and look of the dash pad, but the glovebox door should remain stock.

Hey this setup is kinda cool. Is there any company that makes a radio, nav sytem that you can use a flat screen tv to control, like a touch screen? I think i saw something on Pimp my ride but i can't find anything like that on the net when i search. The setup in the pic looks awsome, I'd just do one screen too.

ummm,check your local laws if this is a street bound truck.

I doubt they'd do all that work just to cover it in vinyl. My guess is that the whole dash is getting fiberglassed. The door panels look glassed. It's a ton of work, but nothing looks better than a good glassed and painted interior if done right.

as long as it is used for navigation and not to watch TV you will be in good shape.(If it is to watch TV make sure you can change it to NAV quick)

Sharp eyes you have there 67 Fleet. I've never liked dealing with the stuff myself (fiberglass) but I admire the guys that make it work.

I think it looks pretty good. Forget the screen in the glovebox though, clutters up the look too much. With some custom paint, that has the potential to be bad ass.

Ya, maybe round the edge off a bit too, but it obviously a work in progress. Nice kick panels too.
