    Put a `52 Chevy dash in my `30 coupe ... United Speedometer redid the original gauge cluster for me and Von Franco did the stripes.

    This is what I have planned for my 48 GMC truck. The dash is from a 62 Rambler American. It fits pretty good to start with but will need some cutting and fab work done. I bought the dash on Ebay for a $1.85 with $17.00 in shipping. Mel

    I used a 50 ford dash in my 33 pickup. All guages worked. Took 16 inches outta the middle.

    I tried just taking some out of the middle of my shoebox dash but the speedo didn't line up with the column so I just frenched em all in.
     
  18. I'm not nearly as creative as most here but I found this dash from a 31 Studebaker and it fit my roadster with very little modification. I had to cut and re-curve the top and notch the ends a little, I made a gauge panel that I am going to machine fins into and I'm done.

    Here is a 51 buick dash in a 38 dodge pickup /roadster project we did. Had to narow it 12 inches and incorporate the door trim to flow into it.
