Nice looking truck! Just replaced a dash in a 95. Bit of a challenge tracking a good one down but after I got , it wasn't bad to change at all. Drop the column and pull the bezel and cluster and there are like 4 screws up by the windshield and 2 15mm nuts down by the kick panel. And of course all the little doodads like the power plints, hvac control etc . And when you get it loose, the duct wrk pops off in several places with a panel tool and one 7mm screw at either end the entire harness stays in the truck. In all honesty, one good afternoon and it's done. Have fun!

That was my biggest challenge! I moved from PA to SC about 5 yrs ago. Searched online EVERYWHERE for one and finally found one at a scrap yard about 15 minutes from my old house in PA. Lol.

Wow lol mine was about 30 minutes away. Scrap yard with about 20 gmt 400s scattered about. Many with crack dashes. Lucked out with this one. Only thing is slight cracking around one of the screws at the top. Buying dashpad reinforcers from lcm. Exited to get it slapped in sometime. Lil busy with school

Got a new windshield and seal thing that goes around the windsheild put in today. Looks good. Had a small crack in drivers side and the seal was leaking at the roofline a little. Ordering lights, chevy emblem and inserts tomorrow. Should i go with a black emblem or a polished chrome emblem?

Still to buy:
Billet inserts
Black chevy emblem

Im sure there is more haha. There always is. But hopefully everything will be in soon.

I'd get 5000k or 6000k at max. 8000k is going to be very very blue, unless you're into that kinda thing.
