My dash is cracked everywhere and has broken off of where it mounts. Just trying to figure out what Route I’m gonna take.

If you're looking for a "dash" kodiak topkick trucks of the mid 90s to around 2000 vintage have a similar dash if you're willing to mess with it. I have not measured but it's very very similar. It has close to the same airbox a/c heater core as a 88-98 "99 classic" truck. The dash is 88-94 style though squared off. The vent actuators and blend doors are the same to. It uses the 88-94 a/c module to. Same size and bolts right in and plugs right in to. I only happen to know this stupid info because I've worked on a few.

I made brackets for the 3 hold downs with an aluminum flatbar running under all 3 , duck taped the cracks and threw a dash mat on it. Solid now. I'm not remotely interested in dropping 700 bucks and all the hassle of the removal install lol
I never understood why the designer of the full hard covers did not make them with vent grilles and the top mounting holes, you could just silicone the crap out of the cover mount it , stick the screws in and it would be a done deal !?

For some reason all the cracked 96 up dashboards I come across are always Grey. Is this cracking only on certain colors? My 96 Silverado has always been in the sun with no problems. Its blue and has one of the carpet covers on it.

My 95 which is the same dash as a 96 is blue and it was cracked. Pretty much exploded when removed it to do the blend doors. My other 95 has a tan dash and it is still in pretty good shape.
