JJ (ChuckDriver) please chime in. I'm assuming I don't have to either lengthen or shorten the dash but I haven't measured yet. SO I'm guessing just trim the metal where it meets the truck cab metal and puddle weld where the spots are now drilled out. - Now that I think of it I'm wondering about struts or reinforcement of some kind BEHIND the dash?

Any/all advice opinions appreciated.
Dan, I'm not sure how the widths of the two compare, if anything I would guess the truck may be a little more narrow than the car dash. If so its nice and flat in the middle and wouldn't be hard to do!

The truck has a large brace behind the instrument cluster that you can attached to the car dash, which had two rods that bolted it to the firewall.

From what I've seen you do this is definitely something you can handle, so go for it!!

Here's some motivation for you!
