    I just got my dash panels back in after getting them powder coated. Went with silver vein. I was sick of the fake wood. I think it turned out good.

    Looks good....I am redoing my classics dash panels also. Painting them metalic blue, filling in all the label holes, moving the lights from the right foot panel to the top center panel with in order. marker light clip lights headlights interupter than under that row, bunk light work lights red bunk lights floor lights. than in place of the factory light holes i am putting my dump vavle switches. all chrome gauge covers, vents, toogle switches and labels that go under ever thing. everything with blue jewels and blue labels for the fifth wheel air ride dump and slider. i hope it comes out good...lol

    That sounds like alot of work carrkool. I rearranged the order of some of the switches to make things more convenient. I also added the PTO switch below the dump valves. I was surprised to find a label for the PTO back behind the dash. Apparently all the Peterbilts have the PTO label attached to the fiber optic ribbon whether or not they come with one. I put two lights above the switches also to light up the switches at night as I am not OTR and am constantly flipping switches at night. I briefly considered toggle extensions but I hate the ones that have the set screw because they always seem to look crooked. I wish they made one that just slide over tight so even if the switch toggle spins it will look straight.

    This 2012 Pete came with no chrome on the dash... was gonna dress it up but after running at night realized that I didn't have the eye strain issues caused by glare/shine due to chrome rings and such on the dash..Yours looks good anyways
