dash replacement or fiberglass

[Cody_350]

where can I find a new dash or a decent used one with no cracks or fading? I guess these dashes have stopped being produced but my suburbans dash is extremely cracked and broke and it used to shake all the damn time until I used metal straps and screwed it into the body. is it too hard to find these dashes? should I maybe make a fiberglass one or take it to someone? how much does a custom Fiberglass dash cost?

Making a fiberglass dash will take a lot of time if you are willing to put forth the effort. I fiberglassed the dashboard in my K5 and have over 30 hours into it. My thread is here:

I bought one off of Ebay from a junkyard in Delaware, I think it was $400 shipped.

Last I looked LMC was still selling new ones.

The salvage yard down here sells them for about $100. Maybe check with your local yards. Mine sounds like it's in the same shape as yours.

Unfortunately not. They ran out of them about a year and a half ago IIRC. Junkyard is probably the best bet.

alright, I'll see what I can find. does anyone have a link to a thread on how to take a dash apart? I don't want to crack the new one trying to get it apart

I posted a how-to on FSC when I replaced my 98 dash. You may have to log in to see the pictures. Maybe it'll help...

I've seen a few sellers on ebay selling complete dash shells for around $400 shipped which is what I ended up doing a couple years ago. All of the salvage yard dashes down here (MS) had cracks in the usual places.

When has LMC started making 95 up?
