Hi. I have a '96 1500 ecsb step-side. On the dash it has little cracks forming by the bolt holes. I like to pretend it's okay but it bugs me.
I found a good deal on a non-cracked 97 dash. I plan on swappping in place. Light grey as well.
I've swapped dashed on a '91 scsb, I assume it will be close but not exactly the same procedure. I did find the write-up.
My question is what can I do while it's out to help in the long run. Like how to keep it from cracking again, I know it will but how long can I keep it un-cracked. Should I buy those $20 reinforcements? My a/c blend door is not working properly so I guess it's a good time to address that. Is there anything else I need to change/insulate/wrap/or bind/unbind that would be beneficial over time?
Any thoughts, prayers or suggestions are welcome.
An after-thought. I saw a scsb on CL with a black interior and it looked really REALLY nice with leather seats. I considered doing a color change but with the extended cab it seems like way to much trouble. I'm fine with light grey. For that year it's my favourite colour.
Soon, I'm putting in some black housing projectors and HIDs, I have the gmt800 mc ready to go in. I also plan on putting in the transgo shift improver kit, rebuilding the front end, bushings, I reed to do the front brakes and planning on the 1 ton calipers, alignment, fix the fuel gauge, fix the power locks. Tint the doors, It's a work in progress. It's my daily driver. 5.3l stock except valve-train and a 4l60e. Truck has now 80k.
