Any ideas what to do with this dash?
First off, I bought the truck like this. I thought I had it covered 'till Sawman ripped me off and about 20 other people. He was supposed to send me the whole center section. Its a '67. Anyone had any luck re-forming those curves? I would like to do it on the cheap. I guess I'll put a new radio in it at this point but I still need to fix the sides.

hey, somebody cut yours with a spoon just like mine! i think your best bet is to find a patch panel from a more reputable seller.

Re: Any ideas what to do with this dash?
The fastest ,easiest way is to buy a used dash face and cut the old face out above the steering column then across the top (under the dash pad and back down thru the glove box . This allows you to avoid all the finish body work on the exposed face and you just have small sections to work . And your using a factory panel . Place a wtb ad I just this week bought 1 ( $45.00 + shipping) for my 67 no air truck and another with air for a another truck I'm building . Look in the classifieds for the thread ( pictures for grumpy ) posted yesterday .

Re: Any ideas what to do with this dash?
In the short term I would finish the job of cutting out the opening and stick a nice single DIN radio in there. A little blue tooth action and modern sound you might not want to fill it in. I've never owned a 67 but I can say I understand the need for originality in our trucks.

67s have a smaller ignition area hole opening.

Re: Any ideas what to do with this dash?
one the ash try is a one yr. only in a 67.
the hole for the ingnition bezel is smaller. if your doing a din radio i agree cut it out nicely and make a panel. i did this my kids 67 it looked like it was cut with a p38 and being a kid i knew he would want a aftermarket radio anyway. another possible choice is a radio delete panel but yours looks to be cut a lil' bigger than a delete panel.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll just post a WTB and see if I can find another one.
