Lmackattack Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 dash panel for a B model? if yes the 4-5 screws holding it to the dash remove and then you can get a hand in the back to remove the tach and speedo cables. after thay are undone you should have more room to work with to get the guages out. The gauges will need to be removed one by one as they slide in from the front of the panel.hope this helpstrent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/159-removal-of-dash-panel/#findComment-579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron←Well, it is funny (not really) that you both mention that. I actually started the process before I asked (imagine that). Yep, I heard a short, a buzz, and then my low air pressure warning buzzer buzzes all the time, although the tone changes a little around 60 psi. (I do learn better with a good kick to the nuts.... but I really would like to start askin first.......Thanks for the help,GeorgeWhat kind of issues did y'all experience?
