Blank Dash Availability?

[nvrstuk]

Not bashing vendors here in any way, shape or form.

Just complaining that the ridiculous price of Broncos and supply & demand has doubled or tripled the cost of the parts.

I went through the same thing trying to find a dash I could put AC vents in and get rid of the ashtray & speaker. Also moved the glovebox over.

Check with https://www.doubledfab.com
He doesn't list Early Broncos on his website but he will make them.

He made me this custom one and was reasonable I thought.

I've reached out to Dan Dillner both via phone call message and multiple emails; he even emailed me back with questions. But now it's been 3 weeks of no response and I've about given up. I saw his dash recreations and loved them.

I reached out to him on Feb. 25th, we fine tuned the dash through multiple emails and I received the dash on May, 3rd. It may have been a few weeks between emails but he always responded eventually. I think he does this as a side gig and has a full time job. I am very happy with the end result. Good Luck.

I had the same issue. so I found a guy who builds custom dashes for jeeps and had him make one for my bronco. it was Dan Dilner of double D fab. he had never built a bronco dash before mine, I am glad to see he is getting some business from here. he does good work. I sent him a lot of measurements a design sketch and the original dash and had a custom dash made. he kept all the details of the stock dash in his weldmate program so he can use the stock panel to make any modifications you can dream up.

custom speedhut gauges.

I used your exact template and even ordered speedhut gauges and am going the exact same route as you did. Thanks for blazing the path. I'm hoping I can get ahold of Dan or will have to do an overlay on an existing dash that a member was kind enough to sell me...

glad to hear it. hopefully he will get back to you soon. like the other guy said this is just a side hobby for him, but he has been getting pretty busy with the jeep side of things so I imagine he will be getting back to you pretty soon. He seems like a genuine good guy from my experience with him.

not to change the subject but what size gauges did you use for the two major ones (speedo/tach) and the minor ones (temp/pressure/fuel/etc)?

Are they 4.5" and 2 5/8"?

On mine I used 4 inch for the big ones and 2 1/16 for the smaller.
