The chrome dash trim was missing from my Ranchwagon when I bought the car. I don't know the correct name for it and can't find a good picture of what it's supposed to look like. Been looking online but coming up empty. Anyone know where to find this?
A quick search turned these up http://www.fordrestorationandparts.com/store/1956/1956-ford-padded-dash-trim
Thanks, Great looking dash! Did you make that gizmo in the speaker hole or is that available somewhere? I like it! Gauges look great too!
Thanks. Yes I made it - learned more about linear actuators than I ever wanted to know...but it works pretty good. Gauges are autometer with the 56 billet rings that are readily available. File is too big to upload the video of it working...
I see a set listed on Ford Restoration and Parts web site...$75. It was only the cars with padded dash that featured the moldings...Good luck!
I sent a money order to Ford Restoration and Parts for the dash chrome. He said he received it on August 30th. Set 2nd he said he would get it shipped the next day. Fedex sent me tracking number but it didn't move for about a week. It moved for a couple days then got stuck again. I called Fedex after another week and they said to tell the shipper to file for lost pkg. I emailed him with that message and got no response. I called the number on his website Monday and left message, still no response. Called again this evening went to voice mail then emailed him again. Anyone bought from this guy before?
Finally heard back from him last night. Said he would start the lost pkg claim process and I will get my money back. So maybe he was on vacation or sick?
Well it finally arrived today! Driver said it was on his truck all week but his computer didn't tell him to deliver it! One piece was bent, the box was creased, looks like it had a rough journey but I think it will straighten out ok. Not the shippers fault, these delivery companies, well I guess they will hire anyone these days.
