A Little dash repair
« on: June 09, 2020, 06:14:36 PM »
The previous owner of my '66 F100 had some sort of stereo in it and had just butchered the dash. So I did a little repair work and it's better now. :)

Looks like a good spot now for a "Do Not Push" button.  ;D
I've had quite a few '61-'66 trucks, and probably 90% of them had been butchered for a radio.

He also gouged out some holes in the doors.  ::)   They might be a little more of a challenge to fix.  I think this was a pretty nice truck a one time. Still isn't too bad but a kid got hold of it and kind of butchered it up trying to put a thumper stereo in it.

Ugh,  that looks nasty.
Alan, I have a set of those door storage areas if you need them. Not exactly sure what they're called. I've had them for probably 25 years. The trim isn't perfect (a couple of cracks), but they are still one piece, and the storage bags and plastic are in decent shape, only thing is they're red. You can have them if you need them.

Thanks Doug. I'll keep that in mind.  I may just get some standard hole covers. The zipper pockets seem to be more trouble than they are worth.
