OLD SCHOOL...

FUZZY DICE
Origin and history
The practice of fuzzy dice originated in the U.S. in the 1950s and is considered one of the first items sold specifically to be hung from a rear-view mirror. The exact meaning and origin of fuzzy dice is unclear, but one theory[2] holds that U.S. pilots in World War II used dice in their cockpits for good luck, and they continued the practice when they came home from the war.

While fuzzy dice were at the height of their popularity in the 1970s and the 1980s, they have since become increasingly rare. The practice of hanging any object from the rear-view mirror is prohibited in at least one state.[3] A 1993 study showed there to be no correlation between the use of fuzzy dice and the degree of a driver's reckless driving behavior

Hey Fer79.. Nice Truck!!...I noticed you put the cluster from the 'Burb in your truck, and panels. I know the panels would work on the older year trucks... I wanted to do the same thing to mine... with the "wood" cluster from a 'Burb.. but how did it work out with the bigger factory radio slot it had, on the stock old school radio slot in the dash of your truck... did you have to cut into the metal.. and did all the screws line up and such..?
