For Sale: Billet Aluminum Dash Panels

[Ryan Hubbard]

I am selling some Billet Aluminum Dash panels for 68-72 Chevy Trucks or blazers. They are setup to take aftermarket gauges. I have several different setups now. I have the setup for the 5" Auto Meter gauges with the five 2 1/16" holes. I also have them with the two 5" holes and one 3 3/8" in the center and four 2 1/16". I am selling the dash panel for $275.00. I also have the Glove Box Door available for $175.00. These prices include UPS ground shipping. Any questions please post here or email me at ryan.hubbard@aspencontrols.com share it

Those are sweet. Can you polish them. Might get one in a month or so.

[Ryan Hubbard]

Yes you can polish them. I polished the outside of mine and had the inside powder coated. Mine is at the powder coater right now and I will post completed pics when I get it back.

[Musclerodz]

Can they be ordered with our choice of number of holes and sizes?

Mike

[Ryan Hubbard]

I could change the hole sizes and number of holes but it would cost more due to program changes. But it would be pretty minimal extra cost if you ordered a sizeable quantity (about 20). Let me know what you want I could give you an estimate.

Really Nice Job on The Insert, Any Plan's to do matching Glovebox ?

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't most aftermarket gauges larger sizes 3-3/8 or 5"?

That's one my favorite aluminum panels that I have seen. Would like to know for sure on the large hole size, and what gauges are 4" if there are some.

Also, how they gauges mount up.

Looks great!

I may be wrong on this one, but I think our stock smaller gauges (ex. fuel/oil press, etc.) are 3-3/8". Problem is that you just can't find aftermarket 3-3/8" fuel gauges any more. If you do, the guy wants your firstborn for it. The 2-1/16" size is probably a lot more readily attainable size from the bigger companies.

The gauge panel looks great, I especially like the milling around the gauge holes and the attention to detail on the lights/wipers areas.

[Musclerodz]

4" is an odd size as most the aftermarket guage companies I deal with that make the 5" guage that I prefer. I see now they are cast or forged and not CNC'd which would be easier to modify programming than dies.

VDO carries 4" gauges and the 21/16 are the common size for all the smaller aftermarket gauges. I am running VDO vision series. But I can enlarge the hole for 5" gauges or shrink it down to 3 3/8". I just went off the gauges I ran in the original factory dash I modified for aftermarket gauges.

Here is the picture from the back and how the gagues are mounted. I do not clean up the machining marks on the back because it will never be seen once installed.

As far as a matching glove box, it has been suggested and right now I looking into it but it will be a while since my machine is loaded for another month or so.

That is the best dash I have seen yet. I will be ordering one next week if they are still available.

auto meter 5" guages mount in a 4 5/8 hole and 2 5/8 guages fit in a 2.609 hole.... id be instrested LMK on how much extra the charge will be..... also if you're instrested i have another simple prject for ya.... LMK if instrested i can pm ya a CAD drawing.

[Ricks1971]

SWEET! Ryan, what would be great if you made a glove box to match! Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joe67]

Very nice piece. Any pictures of one polished?

[mr402]

I am impressed. This is by far the best dash I've seen for our trucks. I'd be very interested in buying the dash and glove box as a matched set. I will need look into guage dimensions but am very interested.

[Ryan Hubbard]

Due to the interest, I went and got the dimensions for the Auto Meter gauges, both the 3 3/8" and 5"models. I can modify the program and run the dash in those sizes. I have the one dash that is pictured right now but I can run more but would like to do them in one run. I own the CNC mill but my main business is doing small run prototype parts and aerospace parts. I will try and get a glove box door done and post the results. But if you guys want to put together a group buy , he price for the dash is $275.00.

[jkaylor68gmc]

That is awesome, Hubbard, I sent you a PM

[Simonstrucker]

put me in line for one with the auto meter gages

[67 cst swb]

Ok, 'nother odd question?
Can these be ordered from you with no gauge holes drilled? Just the Bezel with mounting holes and headlight and wiper holes and emblems. I have a friend with a CNC machine, but it would be easier to just have him do the gauge holes instead of the complete bezel(he's kinda sssslllloooooowwww at getting things done) Also, I haven't decided on the gauges I'm using yet.

[Musclerodz]

Let me make a final determination on guages and then I will get back to you.

Mike

[TonyJohnson]

I gotta have one of those! Put me on the list. My preference would be 5" and 2 1/16". Autometer has a bunch of different Phantom gauges that would look awesome. If the current one is the easiest/cheapest to get, could you tell us the part numbers of the VDO gauges you used? They look great, as well.

Thanks for the great work,
Tony

[meathead95]

i could use two set up for the autometer guage sizes. do you take paypal?

[LUV2XCLR8]

Very sweet, but what if you are running a stock wiring system? I Might
sound dumb, but would you not have to splice in the wires for the turn
signals? Could you get them with out the 3 lil holes? (I'm guessing that
they are for Left, Right, and Highbeams) I know you have to splice for
all of those other guages too so it's really a moot point, but curious. I
have one more? If no indicater lights, what size guage could go in that
center section? Just looking at other possible guages for future mods

[earl87gta]

put me on the list for one. When it gets closer to odering let me know and Ill pm you the configuration I need.

Luv If you use 5in on the big hole anf 3 3/8 for the center hole you could get one of those quad gages with the fuel,volt, oil, and water on one of the 5in holes use the center 3 3/8 for the tach the other 5in for the speedo and that leavs four 2 1/16 holes for you bagged or boosted guys to use.
