dash, steering colum upgrades

A little off topic but some of you will appreciate this. I am upgrading the dash, guages, and steering colum on my 71 C10 pick up. Some pretty cool stuff too..

before Tach wire tied to the column, column still had the hole for the old 3 on the tree. under dash oil, water, volts





the new stuff. Classic dash with Phantom guages and Ididit polished aluminum tilt steering column. Will be topped witha a Billet Specialties 3 peice polished aluminum wheel tomorrow after I finish.

Re: dash, steering colum upgrades

not too bad but a bit of a struggle alone. Took me about 5 hours to do the column.

Re: dash, steering colum upgrades

Where exactly is that dash panel from? Sorry, I'm new here and not completely familiar with our aftermarket yet. Any help (web site, part number, etc) would be great!

Thanks in advance.
