Re: Show your dash 55/57

Here's my adjusted '58 version in a '48 cab;

The dash was narrowed and pancaked 1" each way.



I went with an aftermarket flamed cluster.

I think the VA electronic control unit gives a nice balance to the shape of the stock radio shape. Filled in the ash tray and heater control spots and lost one knob position in my modification.

I am using the new IV vintage air, but this is what I was asking for at the start of this, Looks great and good use of space.
