Terrific effort. I have recently seen an aluminum one that is too pricey. Might consider doing my own creation, now the ice is broken. I like the idea of ripping everything off that steel frame. 👍

Great looking dash .

Look cool man , i goint to do like this in my truck

Wow, this is great. I’m a trim carpenter/ cabinet maker. I made a few different center consoles for my second gen due to it being a stick making that seat useless. Also I’m Self-Employed, so keeping track of papers and storage is paramount. One day, I looked at the crumbling dash and thought” could I, build it with wood, and it be kool?” I sketch some ideas I wasn’t happy with and just let it go. After seeing you make your vision, that answer is yessssssss. I outfitted my trailer that is a portable workshop, all my deigns, which is super fun to constantly revise but what I didn’t realize is when I go look at jobs, the customers can walk in and literally see and touch what I can do for them. I’m thinking, add my own dashboard and center console to that equation. Subscribed.

I like the leather material as it all ties together so well along with the expanded metal for the vents . Killer work as always . Cheers

I wonder of making a dash out of "pillow cushins." Foam and wrapped in aplosherty would would

Sweeeeet, I think that's a great combination/look! THNX!

Bro I love how you say it’s in the eye of the builder it really is sick build and awesome tutorial I don’t even own a dodge I’m a Chevy guy but keep Whealin

It's really looking good 👍👍🇨🇱

So cool. Can't wait to see more !!

Very cool, thank you! Project coming along nicely as well.

I've had this idea in my head for a long time. Cool to see someone going after it and making it happen. I don't metal working tools yet, but I'm getting there slowly.

i really like seeing how some people really love there trucks and hot rods you guys are the ones that gives me great ideas for my truck and on how i can fix my 1994 dodge ram 1500 single cab 4x4 dash and i have been doing alot of reach on this....so i really want to say to all of the guys out there that you all have great ideas about trying to make it look so easy went doing this but its really not that easy to do cause i am going to do something like this i have trying anything from firerglass two thinking about what this guy as done to his truck so thanks for show me it is very possible....thanks

I wished you had swapped in a 3rd or 4th Gen dash Into the old 2nd gen I heard you mention that you could weld so I figured fabricating a modified dash frame wouldn't be a problem and no one else has filmed it on KZfaq.

I Love This project a lot. And Some days I just be standing outside looking at my truck saying if I had the tools to change this I would. I'm just feeling down from all of the shops I took my vehicle to get it fix and lost thousands of dollars out here in Atlanta Ga and it's still not so good. I think these people out here needs to be really Reported. But out of all I have been working on My own truck and cars around the house by myself and I have been doing a great job on it. So Thanks for them idea

Dude... I am SO happy to see this video. This is exactly what I want to do and everyone keeps trying to discourage me. I also can weld

Nice!! Kind of has a Mad Max look to it with the metal exposed. I think I would just keep it that way.

Just noticed you have over 1k subs well done. Hope it works out well! Another great video. Keep these coming.

Sweet build dude … that’s an inspiration!

I have a 95 , it has no dash. Ive used a piece of outdoor carpet to cover all the stuff . Going to do a custom wood dash .

Hahahahahaha sweet!!! My dash is toast on my 01, but the lower part is still in good shape. I have thought about doing something like this.

Did the metal dash make any vibrations while driving it? And did it get hot while sitting in the sun?

This is bad ass ! I have the same problem with my truck how much would youncharge for a job like this

Whouda thought Alligator and steel would look so good ! Dig the expanded lath vents as well !

No way! You did the same thing I tried to... except you actually know how to weld! (I just bolted a bunch of slotted angle in where the peanut-brittle craptastic plastic used to be) X3

Not to be rude but I must say this dude makes cuts straight as James Charles

I’m 73 trying to replace the the dash in a2001 dodge. Do you think that engineer that designed it was on an acid trip, or mushrooms? All the instructions I’ve been able to find say crap about removing the airbag, but don’t tell you there are two bolts on the underneath; that you have to stand on your head to get out, and then unplug something you can’t see. If he were here with me one of us would get an ass kicking.

Mine I'm liking the dash

Any chance I can pay you for a bolt on addition of your awesome welded dash?

1:13 is that box part of the security system? I know on the newer models (98-01 interior style) they were in the roof console

What was that board material you used for the top of the dash? I'm making a custom metal dash for my 2nd gen Ram. Was considering using foam board then wrapping with a vinyl or polyurethane leather....but i think foamboard is too weak and brittle to use as a dashboard top. What is your suggestion on that based on your experience?

damn son you got the alligator interior? hell yeah

Awesome! What state do you live in? What would it cost for you to build 1 for me?

Spray it with some colored plastidip or bedliner.

You should bed line the dash and the in side of the truck

Make kits to sell. You'll get rich so you can buy more 2nd gens!

That is fugly

Points for creativity and originality but man, in terms of “normal” that’s one ugly dash. Take with a grain of salt of course!

One ugly interior. That dash looks awful
