I've seen thousands of AD truck cabs and never seen gauge openings like this before. WTH?

Smaller aftermarket gauges used? f you zoom in the RH round opening has a ring which suggests a cup like LH opening or gauge trim ring was against the primer.

If that dash has been modified then I want the name of the bodyman because those gauge holes are absolutely seamless, right down to equal rust.

Prolly an aftermarket knock off panel, you know how the stuff is close but never right on? Haha.

Dash has had several mods.

Filled radio opening and edge of speaker opening cut out for larger head unit.

Someone took time to cut exact fit filler panels for the gauges and probably for the radio opening.

Also notice firewall mounted clutch and brake. Definitely not someone afraid of making changes.

I think that's brown primer not rust?

I tried a few attempts to find out what vehicle the dash may have come from but no luck.

Probably a street rod truck in the 70's or 80's that got shoved off to the way side at some time or other. Most likely done to put an aftermarket speedo and tach in it. Probably with a 4 gauge panel under the dash for the rest of the gauges.
