Everything dash pads
I am doing a resto mod build on my 85 c10. I am looking into interior parts right now and am way overwhelmed with interior choices, specifically dash pads. What I would like to see is a thread dedicated to just dash pads. If this goes well than we can split off and repeat for other things like seats, carpet, etc.
He is the way I would like to see it done. Please post pictures of your dashboard with as many detailed pics of fitments on sides, cluster and anything else pertaining to fitments. Then post where you got it, when you got it, part numbers and cost. Please don't post anything that is heresay, just first hand experience. If this has been done already, I am sorry. If this has a good turnout, maybe a mod can start a sticky for this style of thread. Thanks for help guys. I know I am new here, but I want to make an honest effort to help the community. |

Re: Everything dash pads
I was able to able to reuse my dash pad. I stripped the old dye off and repainted. In fact, I used all my original trim and dyed them to my new interior color. I went from Maroon to Charcoal.
I'm a nut when it comes to interiors, so you got questions, feel free to ask. I think I have learned a lot from redoing my interior. You can check out my build thread, its the link at the bottom.

Re: Everything dash pads
I know you said no hearsay stuff, but if I were to have bought another dash pad, I would have gotten it from here:
http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/me...tegory_Code=DC I also did a lot of research, and this seems to be one of the best options for a replacement, unless your lucky enough to find a NOS one.

Re: Everything dash pads
besides the two different looks, is there a mounting difference between the 73-80 dash pads and the 81-87 dash pads to the inner metal skeleton? Are the gauge bezels specific to each year group or are the universal to all years?

FYI- I have had GM replacement dash pads that fit poorly too. An original pad or the one in the link above are your best options....period.

Re: Everything dash pads
Good info, but my dash pad is f'ed beyond repair. I would like to keep it to experiment with since I did buy a new sewing machine for upholstery.

Re: Everything dash pads
There is always the long shot of finding one that's not cracked in a salvage yard. I search this place all the time: car-part.com
I just did a search for dash pads and there is actually a few that are listed with no cracks or minor cracks. Minor cracks can be repaired and then the dash pad can be dyed to your color.
