Re: 56 chevy truck dash
Im just starting on a 56 shortbox. Gonna mount body on a newer 4x4 chassis 95 - 99 yukon or tahoe chassis. I really like the car dash vs the original one in the truck. Is the car dash a basic replacement? Any "watch out fors"?
Thanks, Dave |

Re: 56 chevy truck dash
Nice work, wheel placement had me confused until I looked at your location. Were the old trucks there imported from AU?? I know the Assembly Manual show the right had drive RPO and mods required.

Re: 56 chevy truck dash
Nice work on the dash, It is beautiful like the rest of the truck. I did like the wood dash too.

Re: 56 chevy truck dash
I went with a relatively smooth dash. Basically, since we weren't using the stock radio hole and were relocating the headlight and wiper switches, we decided to go smooth except the keyhole for the push button start switch. I'm happy with the way it turned out.
