64 model dash



There's still work to be done, but its a very straightforward fitment. A couple of filler pieces on the ends and a little welding and it will be permanent.



Interfacing the electrical will be the biggest amount of time. I have to hit the swap meet next week and come up with an instrument cluster, heater control, light switch, wiper switch, and maybe ignition switch. I'm thinking hard about swapping to an earlier column without the key on it. I got to redo all my steering shaft for the dropmember anyway....
Found it.
Nice work the dash swap is neat and rather easy. At least I thought.
