This was an easy fix, just some 1/4 inch oak with stainless steel screws countersunk for the water temp; votage; oil press and oil temp. gauges The hard part was getting a tach in the original instrument cluster. And I did take of advantage of my teenage son at the time who was into models and had him repaint the instruments white lettering twice (hey it was a little thin). And that's just good old rattle can Rustoleum indoor/outdoor satin black.

dash was in good shape for a 33 year old truck when i got it.
it was covered with green paint that had still not dried. you could mark it with a fingernail. the only holes in the dash were from the old radio faceplate. there was nothing behind it so i removed it cause it was damanged anywasy.
didn't want a full overhead because im too big so i went and got a ford louisville radio mount and glued ( 3m panel bond ) it to the roof. suites me just fine and i don't hit my head like in the old days with a full overhead.

Before it was finished. I mounted the radio/CD under the dash in the center. I am now installing a dash skirt and will have the radio mounted in it.
