View Full Version : 67 dash conversion sweep to round gauges
mugsy3000 Feb 13th, 03, 1:25 PM Has anyone converted the sweep speedo style dash in the 67 (or any other chevy from that era) to round face gauges? Does anyone know of a company that make new dash panels set up for making this conversion?
Thanks in advance,
MP

The only place I know to buy the dash insert is Haneline. It's about $185. which is too much, but he had it, and I didn't.

mugsy3000 Feb 14th, 03, 11:34 AM Looks like the gauges are tilted up toward the headliner an awful lot, can you still see them OK? Did you pay $185 with the Gauges? The website pricing is hundreds more $$$.
Did you have any problems installing the unit?

There is no console. The carpet was changed and a B&M Megashifter was installed. The picture doesn't do it justice, it really looks pro. The fit was perfect.
