    So I literally just spent 2 hours looking for a dash trim kit, or a new dash for a 2003 Kenworth t600. Anyone know where I can find one? I've literally been on every page google had to offer. There HAS TO BE someone out there that makes them. I don't want new gauges, I want to either take out the wood grain and put a different dash in, or want something I can stick over the wood grain.

    Chrome bezels? Any chrome shop sells those. Chrome Country in Smyrna, TN at Rush Pete has displays of chromed out dash layouts. You can buy anything you want or let them take your truck and have at it. I wish I had the luxury of being able to trick mine out.

    Pull the gauges, strip the wood grain off and paint it, polish it whatever you want.

    I would rather have a professionally made product rather than do it myself. Not to mention it'll save me time if I just paste something on there. Or just unscrew them out and screw a new set in.

    If you are thinking about what you see at the truck shows, those guys are doing what suggested. I do not think anyone makes what you are looking for. If bigrigchromeshop or 4 states do not it have chances are it is not available.

    I've never been to a truck show =-( I am getting an overhaul and am swapping or the original carpet also. Trying to make it look pretty. The wood grain looks old and dirty

    Anybody ever see a retrofitted dash for the God Awfull early T2000 models that the dash looks like it came out of a 1987 Chevy Citation ?

    Heat gun the old grain off and maybe look at getting some Carbon Fiber look Vinyl to lay over the old dash panel if that look works for you.

    That's the problem I can't find even carbon fiber vinyl pieces to put over the old dash panel...
