Nice job on the little details. The dash is great.

Funny, but looking at the pictures, I saw the license plate on the back and immediately checked your location. Thought the was a Historic Vehicle plate from AZ.

Spicer 3053A from a 2.5 ton Multifuel. About 16% overdrive. The truck would make 68 mph at 2800 RPM, 5.83 gears and 42" Goat tires.

Dash panel from same, with one gauge hole added on the bottom with a relocated hi-beam indicator. It takes up about half of the original dash heater hole due to the increased width, and is a little taller as well. Nibbler tool surgery was easy.

Thanks!

Thanks Dennis, It has always been one of my favourite trucks over the years......
I do actually want one of these dashboard panels (minus all the parts, sheetmetal only), Has anyone got one kicking about the place?
