Still Looking For a Dash

Dreamscape · July 27, 2007, 07:37:44 PM

I am still looking for a dash, prefer Eagle Model 10. With or without gauges. Not having any luck so far with vendors.

Any ideas?

Happy Trails,

Paul

Paul,

Have you checked with Silver Eagle in south Texas? They are supposed to have quite a stock of old parts.

Good luck,

Darrin,

I have checked with Silver Eagle, B & B in Las Vegas and Tejas, have not heard back from Tejas. Thought I would give this one last try. If nothing works out I'll build my own, I guess.

Silver Eagle can make me a new one, they have a mold. Gary at B&B said he would call back if he found one, no call. Just like the looks of the 10 dash. Of course could get a new one from Custom Instrument Panels. R & M Fiberglass has them available also. Just thought I would try used first.

Paul,

Check with Bart Grabhorn in Scappoose, Oregon at 503-543-6407 or E-Mail: busbart@comcast.net . He had a Model 10 he was parting out....maybe the dash is still available? $:-\$ It was on his website at http://www.grabhorn.com/ for a long time, but I don't see it listed anymore. However, it is still listed in the Tejas Coach classifieds.

Good luck,

Darrin

I have one, (I think) but it is pretty beat up. I took it out when I made my own. I am currently in inglis FL. Email me if you have any interest. You can have it if I haven't cut it up for something esle.

About 3 years ago at the Caverns get together there was a black guy from Orange county, Ca that drove a GMC motorhome and pulled a trailer with his custom dashes displayed there. Maybe someone remembers his name? Good Luck, TomC

To all who responded,

Darrin, Yes I did call him, does not have it anymore.

RTS/Daytone, I sent you an email.

Prather, I will contact you if all else fails.

TomC, Thanks for the tip, hopfully someone will remember.

Thanks again,

Paul

Maybe I should have been clearer

The guy at the caverns DEFINITELY IS

His name is MACK (sp??)
http://www.custominstrumentpanels.com/

He's well known in the GMC M/H community (which I still keep in touch with - cause my RTS is the GMC M/H's BIG/little Brother)

or my RTS is a GMC M/H on steroids ;-)

I like R & M stuff, not sure of the dash however. I do like the fact it comes with the cover for the right side though. Still trying to determine which way to go. Pictures posted on this would be great. I have seen Pete's, Eagle Fantasy, his looks great. Looking for others to compare.

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks Pete, I had not heard of them, I will call them today. There has to be a graveyard for buses somewhere in Texas. I would like to find one, just for good measure.
I finally made it home last night after many delays at airports due to bad weather. Only took 8 1/2 hours to get from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Abilene, 3 1/2 total flying time, go figure.

Paul,

Sonnie Gray replaced the entire front clip on his Eagle....maybe he has an extra dash laying around? $:-\$

Did you check with Jefferson Bus in OKC?

What about Texas Custom Coach in Pipe Creek, TX?

I will keep my eyes open as I travel around Texas.

Good luck,
Darrin

Darrin,

I checked with Jefferson, no dashes available. I am waiting for a couple of replys from others that I have contacted. I will get in touch with Sonnie and see what he has. Did not know of Texas Custom Coach, will call them today. Stay cool as it is going to be a hot week. Maybe it will dry out Hickory Creek Campground.

Thanks for the reply.

Paul
