Cutting the dash

[JameslovesJammie]

Oh, for Heaven's sake! Cut the dash!

I always find it hilarious that half the people who will tell you not to do it have modified their frame, or changed out the gauges, or tinted windows, or put on some '80's rims with BF Radial T/A's, or done a motor transplant, or converted to HEI, or switched carbs, or any number of things that make the truck "Not Original".

The only reason not to cut is if your truck is in mint condition, or restored back to 100% factory condition just as when it rolled off the assembly line. If it's a daily driver, I can't think of a reason NOT to have a cd player in it! Hmm...10 watts vs 200, AM vs AM/FM/CD/MP3/Satellite radio, 16 bit digital quality vs...ummm...none?

My truck isn't on the road yet, but as soon as it is roadworthy you can bet I will cut the dash in a heartbeat!
