'83 Dash Panel
« on: Sep 08, 2008, 10:58:05 PM »
After modifing the stock dash a few times I realised that it was time to start from scratch.

Here is the original dash.

I saw this on Pirate, and I've been drooling ever since.  :drool:

Any plans to make more of these? I think you've done the best job so far in the realm of First Gen dash modifying.  :biggthumpup:

Thanks for all of the positive comments.
Tonight I had to put a new transmission in so not much happened with the dash. Tomorrow night I will get it wired up and installed.

If you want to see the dash up close I'll be at the roundup in this;

Saw the truck from a distance at the con. It looked badass. Such a nice/clean/well put together truck. I wish I didnt see it at the sluice when i was leaving cause I would have got up and looked at it.

Anyway, thats an awesome dash. Really cool truck too  :thumbs:
RIP Kyota.... you are the man

GET IT!!!

Very nice dash and truck!  I actually forgot I had one of the factory clocks sitting around until I saw yours in your dash :_oops:
