*87 chevy silverado* · 01-31-2011, 10:39 PM

i just noticed that this 73-82 dash is in a 69 chevy, no wonder why theres welds in the dash.. more pics please?

bowtieboy69@yahoo.co · 02-01-2011, 01:51 PM

the color of blue on my dash is called indgo blue its from a 2000 chevy pickup and i have it on the rest of my truck too. i wouldnt recomend painting it that color inside its quite dark i am thinkin bout taking it back to the bodu shop to paint it with a nice gray sliver color with a black interior

and well i really didnt take very many pics i regret it now it took me about a good week jut to get the confadence to hack out the old dash lol i think i shortend the 80 dash like a 1 3/4" or 2" i cant remember sorry guys

then it took me about a good week on how fit it in right and weld it in i really wouldnt recomnd doing it guys you have to figure out something for ur gauges and your heat/ac and hack up your brake pedal thing that holds ur steering column and make a custom bracket in their for it too its alota work but will be sweet when im done lol
