Re: Pictures of custon dash pads?
A while back I remember someone posting about a dash pad that had an integrated triple gauge pod. It was awesome, but kind of pricey from what I remember.
Here's a link to the thread: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=181806

I had my door panels and dashpad done at the upolstry shop, headliner and visors next, drew the design on a post-it.

Re: Pictures of custon dash pads?
I wonder what it would take for me to make my own dash pad... What kind of material would I need to get that shape?

Re: Pictures of custon dash pads?
Find one that's trashed (or use what you have) Pull the old vinyl off and start shaping the foam... go over it in fiberglass... then glue on some covering.. leather/tweed/upholstery to match the seats/ etc....

Re: Pictures of custon dash pads?
C10-Driver well I must say that console is the best one I have seen. The way you got it to blend in just look great.

Re: Pictures of custon dash pads?
I once had a nice tuck and roll on dashpad to match seats and door panels, but that was 1980 and I'm not sure it translates today.
I'm thinking of removing the pad altogether and either filling the holes under it for a smooth painted metal dash or perhaps trying to fabricate a stainless or chrome trim of sorts to cover the holes under the dash pad. Those pads have no real purpose other than attempting to follow nonsensical government regs and sorta look out place in a metal cabbed truck imo. The earlier C-10s look just fine without 'em. ![]() |
