Dashboard Pictures Requested

[BRONCITIS74]

I am just about ready to do the dash in my 74 Bronco. I want to add seperate gauges for oil pressure, water, volts, and fuel supply. I was wondering if any of you guys that have cool dashboards in your trucks would mind posting some pics of them. Thanks

I just redid mine and added gauges and some switches. Mine's pretty simple and I've kept it more on the stock side. Some people have done some highly modified dashes that are really nice. But here's one on the simpler side.

AZ73, all those links are a dead end sir...

Hi, I added a radio and speakers and I'm pretty happy with it. See a picture in my garage. Good luck

Try them now.

Great designs out there... real craftsmanship.

My .02, and I'm not trashing anybody's layout/design but I think it's really important to not HAVE TO look away to the middle of the dash or almost to the glove box to read a gauge... cool to have 6 gauges all lined up horizontally but I can guarantee that if you're doing some hard rally type wheeling you won't have time to look at them OR you missed a deep hole in the sand at the beach...

This takes your eyes off the road and you will be MUCH less likely to notice a needle isn't where it should be... just something to think about...

Here are some dash pics from my '76 copper rig. I was, and am still to this day, afraid to ask the guy that did it as part of my build how much it cost. I'm afraid I'd vomit in my mouth. But it came out pretty good I thought.

All good.

Very impressive designs and well thought out.

 

[AZ73]

Still in Progress but here's the plan and the rough finish. Switches and A/C controller will go where the paper is on the dash, and a push button start will be under the oil pressure gauge

went completely resto mod for mine,

(had somebody do it)not me. Aluminum dash, steering column will drop and dash pivots away from the firewall. It's still only phase 1 and needs phase 2 to be completed ( painting, vents, dash pad etc) but 9k miles on like this and I like it. Had to include pic of the 600 watt pig behind the seat.

Wow. You guys got the wheels turning. Keep the pic coming, please

Man all those dashes look pretty dang cool! Mike, where did you get those windshield knobs?

Here is how I did mine, I wish I had put the speedo and tach above the 4 smaller gauges now.

 

[bronconut73]

Mine.
Sport Comp's in cups.

Still need tranny fluid temp. and engine oil temp.

 

[sanndmann3]

Here is mine. I put the important gauges (oil & temp) closer to the driver. Trans and volt are father away... gas and air pressure (onboard air) on the left.

And now for something completely different...

I am 6' 3" easier for me to glance up.

Wild Horses I believe, I did the twin sticks and door locks all in the same style.

That's some nice welding there!

How did the radio fit with the vents behind it going to the dash?
