Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Closed the dash today.
All wiring has been done, all works good now.
The PO had the fuelgauge mounted in the dash, he has cut a hole in it.
Why I don't know, the original fuelgauge is working as it should.
So I welded it, I have a few weeks before inspection

Sorry for the crappy pics, made with my cellpone...

This is the fuelgauge hole:


Too bad, 'cause the rest is in pretty good shape, except for the screwholes he put in for that nice red interiour he put in..







Question:
What should be in the middle hole above the radio delete plate?
I tried to get an old sigaretlighter in there, but the lighter I have is too long unfortunatly. The wiperarms just touch the +side of the lighter, I don't take that risk.
Thats why I put it at the leftside of the radio plate.

I don't want to cut the dash up, it must stay like this.
Now I'm thinking where to put the radio, I've thought I make a strip under the dash, from left to right, mount there the radio, extra gauges and the switch for petrol/LPG, integrate the steeringcolumn in it also.
If you have tips and/or pictures you can show me, please do!

Final finish again when I start the fun works, after I get my title
