Your steering wheel doesn't hit your speedo does it? I know mine was close. I never really thought about it till someone said somthing. Looking good.

That dash is way cooler than the 60 truck dashes. Nice work, I'm getting some ideas for a project on down the line.

**GRIMSS** · 08-17-2009, 07:16 AM

Dash looks great.

Bigblue29 · 08-17-2009, 08:24 AM

love the dash treatment!

**Shaky** · 08-29-2009, 06:54 AM

Man, you do nice work. I love those 55-57s. I've got a '67 and a '66. Time to start working my back towards those fifties rigs!

**ChuckDriver** · 09-04-2009, 09:55 AM

Thanks guys for all the compliments! Hope to get some work done today. I do have another column that I'll use to get the wheel away from the dash!

Man you sure did some nice work I hope you keep those pic,s coming thanks for sharing gives me some good ideal.

**ChuckDriver** · 09-21-2009, 07:51 PM

Made some progress today! I got a dash vent off ebay from a 64 Caddy and got it installed today. It looks like it was made for it! In the pictures it looks off center, but it's actually the ash tray that I reinstalled. It's only off an 1/8 in or less. May have to cut the ash tray back out and move it. But with the dash bolted in, sitting on the seat and looking at it, it's not as noticeable. But I know it's there so I may have to move it, if you know what I mean!!

**GRIMSS** · 09-21-2009, 08:09 PM

Dash is looking great.

Wow, great effort, hope you are making progress. On your gas tank did you get the 2" neck?

**ChuckDriver** · 11-06-2009, 07:58 PM

Progress has been slow, but getting it done soon! The filler neck has a 2 1/4 in OD and is 3in tall. Hope that helps! Pics to follow soon!!

**CAL 58 GMC** · 11-07-2009, 12:49 AM

Man I love that dash! Check out the one my buddy put in his 67 Chevy.

**ChuckDriver** · 11-07-2009, 08:03 AM

That one looks AWESOME!! I just installed the same AC vents in each end of the dash yesterday. Hope mine turns out that nice!
