How rough is your dash pad? I may have an equally rough, but not red one.

Who do you suppose thought that red would look good with camouflage????

I would say an equal amount is gone vs there.

I don't need a steering wheel though! Anyway I know the four spokers ate valuable so I wouldn't want to put you out.

I think he collects them like license plates.

Haha I was too busy wrangling the two spoke steering wheel to get any footage. Maybe a four spoked model would improve my steering...

I love mine. Makes it feel nicer and newer inside.

I love my dash pad! Or what's left of it anyway. Nobody ever notices a nice dash pad However the "giddup straps" and then the sweet dash pad are always the first things people comment on when they get in my truck!

I always thought the red/maroon was pretty weird too. But it is a complimentary color on the old color wheel, and I think it's endearing for an old army issue truck to be a little color coordinating lol

Also now that I have a center console, I have four cup holders!! two in the dash in the speaker hole for non illicit beverages, and two in the console for the big boy drinks that I drink all the time :/

I really need some cup holders for my rig. I have none.

I need to post pics of the dash pad. I bet it would be nominated for DPOTM. A clear choice.

The steering wheels aren't so much for the looks (although they do look better), they are just a lot nicer than the spindly hard plastic OEM ones.

Knock out the center speaker grille and screw some Walmart window slot cup holders in! I think they come in blue so they would match your steering wheel

I was riding in a kids 1989 GMC V1500 Suburban last Saturday, and my exact comment was: "Wow, that is a nice dash pad". Seriously.

Isn't his wheel black???

Martin

 

[schuttothrill]

Touché, Sir. I spose maybe the general populace doesn't notice a nice one, but we do, because we expect them to be ****ty. Everyone notices mine because it is so far on the other end of the spectrum

I thought it was dark blue... idk it was so nice I didn't notice

Yes its black, but no a bad idea. I need to do something. Tired of my legs being my only cup holder.

John has a sweet wooden one in the dually he'd probably sell you for a couple hundred bucks. I'd say it's worth it since te construction is so nice and the material is really rare.
