Question 64 GMC Dash

Well as it turns out Classic Dash says the 64 Chevy dash wont bolt in in place of my GMC dash. With that being said where can I get one made from aluminum? Without paying thru the nose for it, even if its a plate I have to bolt in over the existing dash.

You would have to use the blank dash from a 60-61 I believe.

Ebay...

go to e-bay. go to vintage parts and put in gauges. they sell them for gmc's. with dolphin gauges. i think it is the people that do easy wire harness. they are around $200

Bose Engineering is the only place I know. I got one with gauges included, blanks are a lot cheaper. Like everything else, the harder they are to come by, the more they cost......

Look around on this forum, the guys here have done a lot of different things with gmc dashes and gauges. Look around for a old one that is straight , I redid mine and I think it turned out fairly well. It is all stock except for the chrome plating on the plastic.....Kieth

I will probably go with theirs but the listed measurements are off I think because when I measured mine on the inside edges it came to 21 1/4" x 5 1/4". I will email them this weekend.
