Two hole dash
I have a few of these, two large holes and the smaller one in the middle with the blinker arrows on it. Did any of these come with the chrome lip around the edge, or were they all painted?

Re: Two hole dash
They also came in chrome. Here's the original in my 69 CST.

Re: Two hole dash
My K20 has chrome gauge surrounds. Showing the effects of age quite badly, but was once nice shiny chrome.

Re: Two hole dash
For the earlier painted grey/silver ones I've found that silver brake caliper paint is a great match

Re: Two hole dash
I bought mine with the choke hole in the upper right that was just an open hole. I installed an old headlight switch to fill the hole and added a new knob to it. There are billet aluminum knobs on all three of my switches.

Re: Two hole dash
Ill have to see if anyone makes a repro chrome one. I like the workmanship people put in to their dashes when they use after market gauges, but I normally prefer stock for myself. Then I saw aod92's build thread. I really love his gauge panel and I want to do the same for one of my trucks (not my K20).
I would like to have the chrome so it matches the gauge lips. Also need to think of something to put in the center, maybe a clock or something?
