67 dash metal dash cluster and FLUSH dash
 

anyone know where to get a 67 dash metal cluster? I want to get one to paint to match my dash.

also anyone have (or have pictures) a 1967 dash were someone cut and welding in the radio plate and ashtray? Im looking for a flush dash.

thanks

Metal cluster?Where did you see that?I always wanted to make one from a glovebox door.I think I`ve seen it done.I know it fits.

this is how I want my dash, he says its a metal dash.

You can find those on Ebay. I think Brothers sells them too. Board member Javy makes them, PM him.

That looks like a dash made from a glove box door with gauges installed. Not bad looking...I have a few glove box doors laying around. Hmmm. :)

That looks cool with aftermarket gauges.

I wonder how he secured it to the dash

That is pretty cool. I have been on the board for a few years and I never heard of doing that. Pretty cool mod though.

Angles in the lower corners are to severe to be a glovebox door.

I am looking at his gage bezel and his glovebox door and the only diff I see is camera perspective?

The downward angle on the gauge cluster is different. Not only that, but the place where the button housing goes would have been shaved and a few other mods would need to be made. It would cost very little money to machine something like that, so I'm thinking it was machined.

maybe it is a machined glove box door, ill have to look into it.

I've seen this type of mod in person and it makes for such a clean lookin dash! especially with the white faced gauges in it

Hey mrwilmoth, do you have anymore pics of that truck?

Not to argue with you guys but that is a glove box door and all that guy did was shave the hole for the latch. i have been looking into this for some time now and it will work...

Maybe you can leave the latch in place,, that way you wont have to unscrew the dashboard to get to the gauges,,, just press the latch button... :lol: I agree nice looking dashboard!

I'll tell ya'll what, when I get home I have a dash bezel and a glove box door and I'll compare the two for you. I may have to eat crow but I stand by the notion that it's a glove box door. :D

You know Rambler, that would be TOO cool. Imagine that, something that looks good and facilitates maintenance! It really looks differant to me. Next time I have my cluster out I will check. If it is... I will explore it further. ;)

Krue, that would be nice of ya. I don;t mind crow. Taste like chicken!! :D

I remember a post, saying that the cabs were the same for the US and UK,, so the left handed and right handed steering was somewhat interchangable.. (post about a 3 hole for the wipers?) now,, I dont know,, but would be interesting to check it out... hmmm,, I've got a 67 cab.. sitting in my barn,, I'll have to check it outmyself... just take off the glovebox door from my 72,,,

Not sure if it was that truck or not, but i do remember a truck like our ours that was featured in a truck magazine and it had an entire paragraph explaining how the guy used the glove box door as a gauge bezel. looked exactly like the picture above.

Well I laid them side by side and as bad as I hate to say it...
I can't tell any difference in outline. So ya'll can kiss my large white rear end. ;) :D

L I B!

? :confused:

Translation....."Well I'll Be"....Just SAY each letter.... L I B

OK, didn't know what the heck it meant. I'll call you later today about this weekend.
