Dash replacement

[Dre319]

Need help gents. Looking to replace my entire dash due to being severely cracked. Dealerships no longer carry them. Everyone has covers and I need a replacement. Any ideas?

If you can't use the plastic covers that glue down, you're pretty much stuck with a junkyard or donor truck.

Good used, if there is such a thing ! Look to the cold country because you sure won't find them in hot states. I have seen a few on ebay, in the 500-800 range. I would like to find a good one myself. I used a Coverlay full cover for the lack of the real deal. Looking forward to the day when some of this stuff becomes available through a aftermarket source .

Another options, which I mentioned in another thread recently, is to flock the dash. It basically glues small fibers to give the dash a suede style feel and appearance. It's done a lot in rally cars to reduce dash glare. It's relatively cheap and there are tons of how-to videos online. Lots of colors to choose from too. You just need to fix the cracks, patch and sand your stock dash first.

Just bought one on eBay for $350 for my 93

It's bare bones, which doesn't matter because all my stuff will transfer.

That's very interesting! My 69 Buick has a flocked glove box... it's cardboard, I think. Also, I think the cubby hole for my truck where the cassette deck would go is flocked. I'll have to Google it and see what I can find.

Man, I'd be afraid a dash would get smashed in shipping.

Thx for all the info guys. I’ll see what I can do.

He wrapped that sucker in bubble wrap all over.

It was fine. The core's are surprisingly more sturdy than I thought they would be.

Agree with others, I'm in Florida and have searched the local yards for nearly 3 years. Hoping to spend $50 and be done, but no luck as everything was worse than my original.

Ended up paying $600 (with shipping) for my '95 on ebay from a gentleman from Oregon. Check ebay or CL, search cool climate states and be ready to drop $400-$700 easy.
