COE Need help on dash!

Building a 42 gmc coe ,can't make up my mind on dash . I have the stock one in good shape . I also have 59 Chevy dash that I cut down to fit . Both look good but 59 takes up some of cab space . I will be cutting a large hole in back of cab for access to sleeper . Please leave your thoughts .

Also any one with gm 41/46 coe , need info on if windshield leaks . My 39 ford pu leaked like a rainstorm until I silled it ,miss the crank out .

I can't figure out how to put pict. on this site but photos are on my tread . THANKS Blue

 

I like the 59 dash better than the original! Are you going to leave the sleeper full width or are you going to narrow it. On my Autocar, I made mine 8" wider than the cab on each side, (80" total) any more than that (in my opinion) starts to look like Dumbo the elephant.

 

The sleeper will be 7'wide the same as bed .The sleeper I have is 7'6" wide and 60" long . I will shorten to 7'x38" . On the dash ,if I use the 59 dash I will use 3 gage set up with the two outside gage holes for ac vents as well as the hole left in center .

 

I do like the 59 dash, looks good with the steering wheel there too.
Its given me food for though on what I will do in my truck. I had thought of going original with a few mods but. ????? now

 

I love your 59 dash. One of my all time favourite dashes

 

Decided to go with stock dash . Just not enough room in cab for 59 dash and steering wheel and me . Thanks for the input and there is some photos of new seat dash and steering wheel on build .
