Re: Post your custom dash

I would love to have one with a horn ring. I have just not went out looking for one yet. There is a new one out that is the smaller size, but still has the horn ring. I think its called the classic.

Re: Post your custom dash

Im building an army themed 67 stepper.. The old Jeeps had the speedo in the center of the dash so I used this 57 truck cluster to mix it up a little..

It took alot of ebaying to get them in good condition. The speed O is rebuilt from scotts speed o service (on ebay). I replaced all but the clock. I've got alot of extra gauge parts that I need to sell. Just haven't taken the time to do so.

Re: Post your custom dash

Anyone ever see/try late model gauges? That's one of the things I'm considering trying but don't know how much of a pain in the buttOCKS it will be. I like the way these look though. Some nice stuff!

Re: Post your custom dash

All late model guages are electric not mechanical, it could be done I assume, but a PITA!

Re: Post your custom dash

I've seen an 84 vette dash in a 67...believe it or not it can be done...It was an old time mechanic next to my work. Looked cool wish I had pic.

But there's yet another idea...

Yeah, well I figure if I'm going to do an LSx engine, it'll probably go with the territory.

A little more progress. It's finally ready for some paint once the rest of the cab is ready.

Re: Post your custom dash

Good work folks. Proof that anything can be done with the right tools and imagnation. Personally I think a stock dash is sexy enough. But do admire the quality n workmanship I see in this thread.
