Replacing the whole dash clean up the switches may be more work than it’s worth.
A simple patch panel that overlays the entire area may be more effective and much less in cost and effort.
Just a thought.
It also keeps Guy focused on the big things.
Get hack to work Guy !!!

Guy, I believe I have that replacement plate loose in the shop, I'll look later today. If I find it.I'll try to post a picture. It would be fairly easy to make.

If you don't mind, send it to me. PM me if this is an option. I have the plate for the rear that moves the trailer plug.

Thanks for the information you provided Dan.

Guy, I found my plate, yes it is possible to loan it to you, look for a PM a little later tonight or tomorrow, depending on my "round to it". :lol: :lol:
It's been a long day and I might not get around to it until in the morning. :roll:
Mr recovery's photo shows the plate I have. One hole has been enlarged a bit when it was installed.....I think "made to fit" is the phrase used here. You will be able to determine the right size when you see it.
I will also try to post some photos here for all to see. I just need to remember how........... :roll:

We made a little progress tonight with the full side panel test pieces. We'll bend the main body tomorrow.

Image

I made a template for the contour. We will need to hold the lower portion to a tight tolerance in order to match the lower corner fill piece that will be stamped out.

These little pieces are the end "snouts" that wrap around the front and rear fender tops.

First set of side panels were formed up this morning. We have to make tooling for the lower radius fill piece but we're getting there.

Guy,

First, thanks for sharing this process with all of us.

I think many people would look at stand-alone photos of these panels, think nothing of the labor involved in getting it right even before making the first part and then be bull-headed when they see the price. Unfortunately, such is the way of the world.

Second, might you take a step or two back and give us a larger view of your truck as it is coming together? I know you want to show off the details of each section but seeing it as a whole would be inspiring.

Were the original panels stamped out and formed on a large press and is your method of adding snouts and elbows because you don't have something that large?

Cheers,
TJ
