So for years I been staring at a nasty cut dash in my truck and finally did something about it. What do you think? I wish I never would have let my friend cut the dash 10 years ago but when your 15 you don't know any better.

Looks good, man!

oklalawnboy · 10-03-2013, 09:50 PM

Perfect.

How did you fasten it and match the paint? Normally there are clips that need the stock holes to hold it in.

Looks good!

Two sided tape is a good friend of mine. I got lucky when I found the plate that it came from a truck with the same color interior and wear.

I had the same problem but I never did like the cover plates for the radio or ash tray. So, I spent a day with an air saw, a welder and a grinder and you can't tell they were ever there.

I noticed the other day that there is now a patch panel available just to repair a hacked dash.

I have the same repair to fix, uncle took a sawzall to the dash...GRRRRRR

I plan on shaving it, then building a console that will hold an in dash GPS/XM double din right below the dash. That's all down the road though.
