PSA: LMC Truck now sells replacement dashes for 88-94 trucks.

[Insert Quarter]

Damn, now I'm gonna have to strongly consider that myself lol. It certainly would make matching things up a little easier.

So, -1 for the LMC speaker grilles... Pulled off the passenger side, and one of the metal tabs came off the grille with no good way to reattach.

Permatex 84145 works well, but I haven't used it since I tried the Harbor Freight 67102 plastic welder. It smells something horrible but I've found it easier to work with than the plastic glue.

Basically title, it’s a steep $400, but it’s a brand new replacement dash for the 88-94 trucks. Currently in grey only, but it can be painted with some interior paint that LMC also sells. Probably the best option in the long term, these trucks aren’t getting any younger, and junkyard dashes are only gonna get harder to find.

If anybody buys one of these, be sure to post it!

Well worth the money spent.

Nice! It's about time someone came out with a replacement. $400 may seem steep...don't forget shipping; gonna be about $75-$80, and painting it to match your interior (SEM color spray, prep spray, etc.) but if your truck is nice, or GONNA be nice some day, you'll want a nice dash. Originals are tough to find in good shape and if someone knows what they have, it will be expensive, too.

Nice to see they differentiate between the 88-91 and 92-94 models, which is important, mostly in the area where the gauge cluster harness socket attaches.

So, who's gonna be first to lay out the bucks and see how well they fit and look?

Dash looks awesome!!!

Has anyone tried using heatset threaded inserts instead of the plastic screws?

I came across these the other day and was thinking about giving them a try.

A bit late to the party here....
As mentioned use epoxy to reattach. DO NOT use the 5 minute stuff. It never really gets hard and always remains a bit soft and "rubbery". Clean the part real well with, at the minimum, denatured alcohol. Better would be acetone or lacquer thinner. There are most likely mold release agents on the surface. I would also rough up the surface with some 60 or 80 grit sand paper. You will only get a mechanical bond so do everything you can to help it out. Maybe even drill some extra holes in the metal piece. JB Weld would be my choice and use the long cure stuff. It has some fillers in it to make it a bit stronger and also help it stay in place and not run all over.
