Fitment notes
Four holes have to be drilled into the dash, two behind each of the new pieces on the driver side of the speaker grille. The gauge split piece covers the original offset column indent in the dash, so a drop column has to be used.
If you order custom engraving, we contact you by email after the order comes in and send a rendering for your approval before anything is machined.
Not included
- The factory glove box hinges, which are reused.
- A drop steering column. The gauge split piece covers the original offset column indent, so a drop column has to be used.
- A drill. Four holes are drilled into the dash, two behind each of the new pieces on the driver side of the speaker grille.

Reviews
4 reviews for Phantom Billet Dash – 47-53 GMC Chevy Truck
Common questions
Will my radio fit the opening?
The slotted holes take factory post radios and the popular classic-style Bluetooth radios, including the ones we sell. A radio with a non-standard shaft spacing may still need the openings finished by hand - the panel is 18 gauge steel, so opening a hole is straightforward.
Is it pre-bent to the dash?
Yes, it is laser cut and pre-bent to the dash contour. It is meant to be a do-it-yourself repair for a dash that has already been cut for a single DIN player.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1947–1953 Chevy and GMC 3100, 3600, 3800 and Suburban. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and leaves our warehouse in 1-3 business days. Transit after that is typically 2-5 business days in the United States. Larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to return it by mail. Return shipping is on you, and the part needs to come back uninstalled and unmodified - once a panel has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Made-to-order items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for a home install with ordinary hand tools, and the fitment notes on this page list anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding. Where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked in the Installation tab.

Great
Kris Hauser –
Thanks so much. Was great working with you to make the first ever Double Din RHD Phantom dash. Have another one in the works already actually!
Andrew Fortescue –
The previous review from Scott exactly mirrors my experience with LS Fabrication. Regular communication during the process to create a very specific dash panel for my 52 pickup and I could not be more pleased with the outcome.
Great job, thank you.
Scott Tesone (verified owner) –
This dash is the absolute centerpiece of my interior and makes my truck stand out while maintaining the 50’s theme. The quality of machining and of the product overall are second to none. Kris and team were able to customize my order with an opening in place of the speaker slots to hold my Terminator X LCD/touchscreen display. I cant imagine how I could be happier with this purchase and the support I received during the order process.
