Eriksf250 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Been working on fabricating a radio delete panel for my brother in law's 85 rd since it already has a radio in the ceiling and I don't like that huge hole in the dash. I have it primed and test fitted, gonna paint it soon and put "mack" in black letters on it. Should definitely clean up the look of the dash a bit Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62456-radio-delete-panel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksf250 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thank you. I want to eventually put 2 more gauges in place of the gauge hole covers, I'm thinking a factory manifold pressure gauge and maybe transmission temperature. I'm still doing some research to see all the available gauge types on all r series (r, rd, rw, dm, etc.) variants and choose from there. I wish I could get a factory woodgrain dash panel blank and cut out as many holes for gauges I want and fill it up with gauges like an RW but more lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62456-radio-delete-panel/#findComment-450712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 How come you didn't make delete panels for the rest of us? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62456-radio-delete-panel/#findComment-450778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditchdiggerjcf Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I would stick my foot in a driver's ass if I caught that idiot cutting holes in my dash. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62456-radio-delete-panel/#findComment-450790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
