Re: 1972 GMC Using 2003 Chevy 2500HD duramax Chassis

GSP7 is the 71 truck on this site? I would like to see a pic of it. I thought about doing an extended cab, but decided against it.

Okay here is what I'm doing with the dash. I want to use the 2003 gauge cluster. I had to add 2 inches to the top of the dash opening to fit the cluster.

Once again sorry for the blurry pics. Here is a pic of the other side of the dash.

I still need to do some finish work on the metal.
My Uncle is a machinist so he made me a dash panel that resembles the 1972 panel, but it's 2 inches taller to fit the 2003 gauge cluster. Our plan is to remove the inner part of his panel, and make a plate that will bolt to his panel. We have not done that yet. I plan on finding some wood grain decals to put on it so it matches the glove box door. The truck will get all the Sierra Grande trim on it.
Here is the panel.

The steering column is in about the same location as the original column. I will need to change the Chevy horn button to a GMC one.

I'm going to have to take a break from working on the truck for a week or two so I can get my CJ5 ready to plow for the winter.

The 68 shortbed Chevy is my brothers. It's got one of the nicest cabs on it that I have ever seen. The doors aren't that great but the side glass has a nude chick engraved on it with a playboy bunny logo on it.
