That's the same as a late model stereo isn't it?
At least it was done nice and neat. Would be easy to repair really.

entertainment center w/18" Screen I would guess-HA! That is just a shame that someone would cut a dash up that bad.

That's an awful nice Big Block truck for the money, heck, I'd buy it & fill that hole with a nice big touch screen DVD/navigation system or hang a picture of my kid there to cover the hole.

Looks like someone had one of those din and a half decks in there. At least the cuts look straight.

I can possibly help arrange financing up to 96 months with approved credit.

Are there really people who would finance something like that for 8 years?

[67ChevyRedneck]

Overall... great looking truck

[Jwill41]

Here is my before and afters. It was hacked pretty bad when I got it.

[mvfd70]

I've got a perfectly good A/C dash that I'll sell to the buyer of that truck. Its in the parts board

[RedZ71]

well at least its straight... mine is a mangled sawzall'd mess. too bad ill never meet the guy who did it, and wont be able to thus strangle him.

[cdowns]

yeah at least its a nice even straight cut// mangeled is when you get one that buba took a cold chisel to or even better took the torch to so he could install a reverb(anybody remember them?) to make the am radio rock

Wish my truck looked that good.

[jgrh64]

you should have seen what the PO did to my last truck, cut in gauges all over the place and a nice jagged rectangle hole for an old cadillac cruise controll (didn't work)

Yeppers

Was at the Yota lot the other day, wife's looking for a New SUV, and a
guy rolled by in a Sequoya? Limited, what she wants btw, and he blew
the horn. Salesman asked if I knew them. I said no, he said they trade
ever 2 years, they are so upside down that there payment on it was....

























$965 for 84 months, Wtf? that is like $81K on a $45K SUV

[shifty]

man, i was at the junkyard today getting relays for my headlight-relay install (thanks to TxFirefighter for the thread and 92-94 Mopar suggestion!). While there, i strolled by one of the only 67-72 trucks on the lot, and it was a big block CST, 1970 I think, lots of options on the glovebox...man, you talk about looking like a grenade hit it...it looked like someone either blew a hole in the stereo opening with a sawed-off shotgun, or just took an industrial jackhammer to it. i saw it and had to stand there for a sec trying to take it all in.

[jimmydean]

You haven't seen mine. That is at least a clean cut. Mine looks like is was cut with a pair of vise grips.

I'll get a better shot some day, but can you see the metal pulled out on the driver side?



<edit> I have no idea how the gauge bezel got smashed in, but luckily I have another. I just have to do some metal work.

I think I can compete in this contest...
