60-66 dash swap into our trucks?

Title pretty much sums it up. Does anyone have pics or links of those, if anyone, has done it? I think it's a cleaner look and would be kinda cool.

I bought a dash with that in mind.

Fitz, I had that in mind but I don't like how long you have to stretch the bel air style, and the impala is just not the look im goin for. I don't want obviously custom, just somethin that'll fly under the typical car show guys radar. And cleans up the dash.

The BelAir is really easy to stretch, though. Cut it right down the center and add a small section. One difference between the 60-66's and the "glamour trucks" was the width of the cab. I think you will find that the 60-66 dash also needs a short addition, but I have never measured one. There was a 68 C-10 at the Good Guys 2013 Southwest Nationals with the instruments and glove box only out of a 64 C10 which looked pretty good but it takes a lot of cutting and welding to get that done.
