So, my radio is in my center console. The original radio is missing leaving the unsightly hole in the dash where it used to be. I'd like to cover it up or put something in there. What have you all done to fill in the empty space on the dash?

I am so stealing that idea there willtel. I would of suggested a CB in the spot or just a nice polished up piece of stainless with BRONCO engraved on it.

I don't mind cutting the dash to fit something. The polished up piece of stainless with Bronco engraved on it is a good idea. Trying to find something like that will be the next issue.

I think I'm going to put one of my extra Bronco script emblems there with maybe a 351 badge. Do you all think that's too much or not a good idea for the dash?

I had an original non-working am radio. Took off the backing plate and the face plate. Used the existing holes to mount it. Basically, looks like an original radio that doesn't function. No one can ever tell the difference

I put in a DIN pocket from Crutchfield. It's perfect to store my phone and wallet.

Hit up a Pull a Part up and find a small square cubby hole out of a later model vehicle. It would make for some good storage

for mine I'm thinking about a blank panel with lighted marine rocker switches. I'm also thinking about a whole new dash, but that'll have to wait.
