OEM '78 Dash and instruments
JohnnyPopper:
My buddy runs a truck recycle yard, he came up on a '78 C30 long bed.
When I got to it the left front fender and steering column were gone, not that I needed them.
I did think the dash and instruments/bezel were in great shape for being 45 years old.
If you want his contact info just ask.
I need to get these refurbished for my Red Girl...
JohnnyPopper:
Decided to use just the bezel for the red one, the instruments are a direct fit for the '80 under construction.
JohnnyPopper:
Not that I work that fast, actually took a couple of days to refurbish the dash.
I like the OEM bezel better than the reman I used when I bought the truck.
"Colonial Red" was the closest rattle can I could find to the pillars, so I painted the roached out door panels. That was about 7 years ago, so some fading could have happened.
As soon as I get the pix shrink going I'll send the results.

There appears to be a different tint to the same color used some 7 years ago.
Looks close to the pillars and door panels.
I bought the passenger side door panel, much better shape than my roach.
Have it painted but haven't installed yet.
BTW the dog isn't mine. I named it 'Retarded Dog' just to annoy those PC ones among us. How am I doing? ;)
