Popular Post Timmyb Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 I’m in the process of putting a new dash in my truck. They don’t make tan ones anymore so have to get a grey one and paint it. Found some awesome lights. Basically in the bezel you can have etched what the light is for. Completely custom so you can have anything you like. Have included a pic of my dash and an example of the lights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Should make it look kinda professional and a lot neater. Saves me making stickers to identify each light. My speedo is actually a tachograph. A bit before my time but it would record your speed and driving time on a bit of paper inserted behind the gauge. Im going to make something that looks more standard so I can run a normal speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The lights on my R model have the writing on the inside of the lense so you can only tell what is when it lights up You seem to have a lot more lights than mine Did You get the fiber glass dash from the fella at Toowoomba or somewhere else ?

Timmyb Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Paul, I didn’t know about the guy in Toowoomba. Had I known about him, I would of bought one of his dashes in an instant! Dads valueliner has square lights with the writing on the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Looking sharp How would you make it wood grain ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just with the vinyl wood grain stuff they sell. I’ve gotta re do the rest of the dash. I dunno if it would be too much wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Were would you get this stuff from, I have never seen it for sale Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 That dash would look nice in a mild pebble grain vinyl layover in light gray or tan too if you prefer. I'm not much in to woodgrain myself. I like your layout and very well may copy your idea. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

j hancock Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 This 3M material is nice for wood grain applications. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-DI-NOC-Architectural-Finishes-Fine-Wood-FW-614-1220-mm-x-50-m/?N=5002385+3293040211&rt=rud 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
