I am thinking a piece of tape and JB Weld will fix you right up. For a repair that small I wouldn't bother with a regular welder. If you haven't used it before, give it a try. It is great stuff.

Hi, I am new to this board. I had the same problem when i got my first 68 the radio part of the dash was completelty cut out and somebody made a custom plate and bolted it in, after i got it cut out the rest of the way i put a newer cd player in it but heres the sad part i let my friend driver the truck a week later and i was with him but we were on a country road and he saw a deer and swerved and we wrecked into a 10-12 foot ditch at about 50-60 something miles an hour i didn't have a speedometer. it really hurt but we were ok. here is a pic of it, bye

I have had 3 trucks with that hole to the right of the dash bezel , and all 3 were wired with switches for auxillary gas tank to run gas gauge

>X< · 12-26-2002, 12:35 AM
