I've read about the idea of doing this, but have not found any pix of it being done. Does anyone have any pix of it being done or any advice? I found a dash that is local with everything in it including the column. I have to go look at it. Here is a pic of what one looks like. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm a full time body man, but when it comes to customizing I'm a little slow.

I put one in my 86. What I did was split it down the middle then I had to cut a few inches off each end cap to line up the steering column with the speedo since I used the stock truck column. I then caped off the ends tacked each side in then filled in the middle. This is my first project truck with no experience so I'm no fabricator but I didn't think it was that difficult. Just make sure that you measure twice cut and weld once.
Sorry no pics but will get some for you.:waah:

Thanks for the info. I went and got a dash today. Just contemplating my angle of attack.
