67 dash metal dash cluster and FLUSH dash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mrwilmoth · 06-13-2005, 12:20 AM

anyone know where to get a 67 dash metal cluster? I want to get one to paint to match my dash.

also anyone have (or have pictures) a 1967 dash were someone cut and welding in the radio plate and ashtray? Im looking for a flush dash.

thanks

Metal cluster?Where did you see that?I always wanted to make one from a glovebox door.I think I`ve seen it done.I know it fits.

mrwilmoth · 06-14-2005, 12:50 PM

this is how I want my dash, he says its a metal dash.

71swb4x4 · 06-14-2005, 01:03 PM

You can find those on Ebay. I think Brothers sells them too. Board member Javy makes them, PM him.

krue · 06-14-2005, 01:43 PM

That looks like a dash made from a glove box door with gauges installed. Not bad looking...I have a few glove box doors laying around. Hmmm.

Deuce · 06-14-2005, 08:09 PM

That looks cool with aftermarket gauges.

Primered_69 · 06-14-2005, 08:57 PM

I wonder how he secured it to the dash

onetoncrewcab · 06-14-2005, 09:50 PM

That is pretty cool. I have been on the board for a few years and I never heard of doing that. Pretty cool mod though.

Angles in the lower corners are to severe to be a glovebox door.

krue · 06-15-2005, 12:28 AM

I am looking at his gage bezel and his glovebox door and the only diff I see is camera perspective?

shifty · 06-15-2005, 11:03 AM

The downward angle on the gauge cluster is different. Not only that, but the place where the button housing goes would have been shaved and a few other mods would need to be made. It would cost very little money to machine something like that, so I'm thinking it was machined.

mrwilmoth · 06-15-2005, 03:26 PM

maybe it is a machined glove box door, ill have to look into it.

dubie · 06-15-2005, 04:32 PM

I've seen this type of mod in person and it makes for such a clean lookin dash! especially with the white faced gauges in it

Bamm · 06-15-2005, 05:11 PM

Hey mrwilmoth, do you have anymore pics of that truck?

**'70_402** · 06-15-2005, 05:36 PM

Not to argue with you guys but that is a glove box door and all that guy did was shave the hole for the latch. i have been looking into this for some time now and it will work...

rambler · 06-15-2005, 05:47 PM

Maybe you can leave the latch in place,, that way you wont have to unscrew the dashboard to get to the gauges,,, just press the latch button...

I agree nice looking dashboard!

krue · 06-15-2005, 05:49 PM

I'll tell ya'll what, when I get home I have a dash bezel and a glove box door and I'll compare the two for you. I may have to eat crow but I stand by the notion that it's a glove box door.

chickenwing · 06-15-2005, 05:51 PM

You know Rambler, that would be TOO cool. Imagine that, something that looks good and facilitates maintenance! It really looks differant to me. Next time I have my cluster out I will check. If it is... I will explore it further.

Krue, that would be nice of ya. I don;t mind crow. Taste like chicken!!

rambler · 06-15-2005, 05:54 PM

I remember a post, saying that the cabs were the same for the US and UK,, so the left handed and right handed steering was somewhat interchangable.. (post about a 3 hole for the wipers?) now,, I dont know,, but would be interesting to check it out... hmmm,, I've got a 67 cab.. sitting in my barn,, I'll have to check it outmyself... just take off the glovebox door from my 72,,,

RICHARD MORGAN · 06-15-2005, 08:04 PM

Not sure if it was that truck or not, but i do remember a truck like our ours that was featured in a truck magazine and it had an entire paragraph explaining how the guy used the glove box door as a gauge bezel. looked exactly like the picture above.

krue · 06-15-2005, 08:20 PM

Well I laid them side by side and as bad as I hate to say it...
I can't tell any difference in outline. So ya'll can kiss my large white rear end.

chickenwing · 06-15-2005, 08:23 PM
