Re: New here... my 81 GMC
Thanks for the compliments guys...always flattering. ill keep posting pics as i make additions and changes. the engine bay has been neglected and will post pics after i detail it. its not much to look at though, as its not all chromed out.
to answer a couple of your questions: the brake controller is for an enclosed trailer and boat. the dash is just a slip on cover. |

Re: New here... my 81 GMC
Welcome from Va. Trucks like yours make us all proud . Im interested in knowing if the dash cover was made to fit or did you just get material & made it fit > any details --where you got it --how you attached it etc. would be appreciated.

Re: New here... my 81 GMC
i am not sure who sells it. it was on the truck when i got it. it is a molded thin plastic slip on / glue on cover that is meant to go over the original pad. i got alot of reciepts with the truck but nothing dash pad related. sorry i cant help.
