Here's an old, in process photo of a late model dash (left half) welded to to an early model version. The stamping on the early dash is much nicer and it doesn't have the speaker hole. Splice line sort of zigzags in the vicinity of the left ash tray. Saves filling the speaker hole and changes the look of the dash. The right side defroster vent must be swapped (cut out and the later version welded in) if the vehicle has air conditioning. Allows you to keep the original instrument cluster, wiring, and steering column mount. If you decide to pull the dash to weld up the holes, you might as well get creative...

Dr Teeth on this board put green LEDs in the holes in his dash. I haven't decided which way to go, yet. For sure I'm better at bolting stuff in than meticulous body work.Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer. -Mignon McLaughlin, journalist and author (1913-1983)

I'm am so interested in what had to be done for each of your dash pad replacement projects. I'm in the same boat. My pad has cracked at the speaker grill (which is totally gone) and it is now curling upwards and cracking into little pieces. Would love to find a pad and just do a swap out but now I'm thinking of doing something more custom if possible.
It's a '77 J10 and originally a blue interior, but the truck will most likely be repainted to White, with flat black trim. So the interior can be basically any color other than black (Summers are just way too hot out here for black and no A/C.
Can you guys explain more or give options? ThanksI can do anything, the impossible just takes a little longer.

I did that on my 77 Cherokee. I don't need anymore than one speaker in my Jeep.

Dash q?
I am curious, If I yank the pad off my '77 how much would I have to fill in the way of holes? Does anyone have a pic of one before filling? I dont mind the speaker hole, I would like to keep it for my CB speaker. But I just dont know about the rest I am not very good with body work.

Bondo is the easiest thing in the world to work with. Mix, fill hole, wait 20 min, sand it smooth. So provided your sense of touch still works it shouldn't be a problem. Wally world and all auto parts stores sell the stuff and it's pretty cheap, so if your still hesitant just spend $20 and play with some of it before you rip out your dash.'74 J10 w/ '76 360 30 over T18 Cooper MTT 35s

Just read your post and took a couple of quick pictures for you. This is the original dash from my 76 Cheif. I am working with fiberglass on a 86 dash to practice on until I get the design sorted - changing heater controls, adding double din stereo and Western Star style switches.
Hope this pictures help. Additionally I find fiberglass a little messy but not too bad to work with.
Good luck
