Interior Orangey's Dash- What Am I looking At Here?

[jeff_b]

Good morning, everybody. After some exhaustive online research, and digging through all my Jeep service manuals, I can't identify if the dashboard in our 1970 CJ is custom, or from another year CJ. Does anyone recognize it? Thank you for any help you may provide, have a good day!

That dash is definitely not stock at all; and I don't recognize it from any other year CJ either. Curious if anyone else recognizes it, but I'm guessing a custom made. Not badly done, but seems a custom one-off to me.

Easy off also with the steering cutout.

Someone didn't want to pull the steering wheel to install their custom creation.

Someone replace the factory steering column with a later model. I suspect a previous owner purchased a blank dash and cut their own holes.

Thank you guys, the slot is not a factory cut for sure, the backside feels like a sawzall ran through it. This rig gives me the impression that it was sbc swapped, angry possum rewired with freshy fresh new dash/gauges and subtle orange respray some years back. I've been trying to date those gauges, but no luck so far. Does anybody recognize those analog beauties?

They do look a style from 50 - 60s that were in an old International truck my dad had except the metric readings.

They seem to work and if it ain't broke.....
