Teal daily driven farm truck.

thought about doing it myself but my local mechanic said he would pull the dash and do everything for $500 labor.

That’s cheap. I charge minimum $1000 for a dash pull

I thought about tempting it myself, I have never pulled the dash before. I wish there was a way to replace the hvac distribution box without pulling the whole thing.

Do it! It’s just nuts and bolts lol

I really believe you would have less headache pulling the dash and pulling the hvac box rather than trying to contort yourself around trying to replace pieces here and there.

I'm sure I could do it right now my problem is time. leave for work at 645 get home at 6. 2 year old and a 37 week pregnant wife.

My time to work on stuff is either late at night or get up super early.

On the weekend were prepping to move and build a house lol.

Finally got the truck in the shop and started pulling the parts out. Got the seats, column and dash assembly out today.

The dash has a lot more damage than I initially anticipated, the hot stapler will fix some of it, but might need some fiberglass :sadface:

I just might have a '97 dash in that color in good shape.
