Hello Folks

I am still working on my pastors 68 and we are going to look for a seat from a newer F series like a 40-20-40 or split bench and not use the taurus seats

But I am trying to figure out how to fix the interior. I am thinking when we get a new seat I would match the color to it and cover everything in leather (cloth seats though) the dash pad is in need of repair, the radio needs to be mounted correctly, the ash tray is missing. And the gauge pod is broken. I am looking at making a plate to fill the ash tray. I found the info to fix the dash pad using spray foam and sanding it down and re covering it. And I am not sure about the radio until I get into it. The gauge pod I want to replace with discreet analog gauges I am still looking for a good replacement bezel and gauge pod.

Any ideas?

Hi Scott, maybe try Dennis-carpenter.com for dash parts?

 

When I did my last 56, I welded the dash shut with a piece of sheet metal, then took a hole saw, and cut in the round aftermarket guages I wanted. I deleted the ash tray, because I don't smoke, and don't want smoking in my trucks
I have pictures, but they are not in the computer.

 

I am Looking at deleting the Ash tray. The truck has the factory gauges and most of them don't work and the outer bezel is broken so i am looking at replacing them with something like a set of auto meters. He likes the old school look.
