57 bcr 2,698 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I think they might have changed mid-year '73.Seen some early '73's with steel dashes in 'em yet. Storkmack has a pulling truck that is a '73-steel dash,big letters on hood with the rib on back of the fenders.Many RL/RS's from '73 built that way also,from what I've been told.That heater cover was still available in '04 for a mere $37.00 NEW!!

hicrop10 631 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We had afuel truck that was a 69 r model that had that dash.That truck did nothing but run and run everyday.I can't remember it ever breaking down.Sorry to say but I think it took a boat ride.We sold it to a fellow out on Newark,NJ that did alot of exporting.He also brought our 3 rmodel dump we had.The 3 dumps all had around 80,000 orignal miles on them.Other then the cabs being rusted they were great trucks.

skip 49 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It looks like an F model dash panel. The R models that came out here had 5 guages (2 large 3 small) in the panel under the steering wheel, and a smaller rectangle panel to the left of it with 2 more guages and a large pyro if it was ordered. The F models had all 7 guages in the one panel, and the pyro was halfway accross the dash. Ive never seen this panel in an R model before, it might be a very early one, like a 65 model.

SkipThis is THE standard R-model dash from the 1st generation trucks. Nothing unusual about it. Looks exactly like my 70. I'd sure like to have a complete gauge console like this as a spare. Anybody got one with good gauges in it? Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 759 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I would like to see a very good steering wheel. Don't recall any photo's since I've been a member that had one without big cracks. I have a similar wheel that I bought off of e-bay that has a couple but looks pretty good especially the center horn button. Would not mind trading it for a very good B Model wheel.mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
