Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
Not sure if this has been done before, but should be fun, none the less. This is the dash pad I removed from my "87 V30 last week. Post your 73-87 Dash Pad nightmare Pictures and let's compare. Thanks......Jay

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
I don't have a pic of the dash without the cover, but it's pretty bad...as you can see, I need to put a lot of work on the whole interior...

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
fiberglass it, buy another(if you're felling lucky), or have it repadded and stitched up un vinyl. the last upholstered one i had cost about 250 and the fiberglassing is taking forever, so i probably won't try that again.

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
Absolutely, in that case...
![]() That leather idea doesn't sound too bad. I pondered experimenting with that blue one, but decided I have enough crap in my garage already... ![]()

![]() ![]() That's what eventually happened ![]() I had it stashed back there because I was planning to rob the rotors and calipers for the van I replaced it with, that never happened, but last fall I picked up a '76 K10 and there are a *lot* of fiddly-bits that old hulk once had that I had to scrounge up somewhere else ![]() The only salvageable part I've managed to use off the thing was a spring-steel jesus-clip for the carb linkage ![]() Once I've got a hitch on the '76 that old crock will get 'smoke wrenched' into winchable pieces and scrapped for gas money ![]() |

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
ya know...its pretty sad. even a burnt up truck has a better dash pad than my 4x4, but maybe thats cause there isn't one in it....how ever i do have to say that i am still amazed that the dash pad in '84 shortbox is still in brandnew shape!

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
sweet lurch be very glad about that. I have the same problem except that I have one of those dash covers that is that hard plastic. I hate it. It comes off all the time and I have to put it back on. My friends would sometimes pull it off and throw it out of my truck and I would have to go pick it up and put it back in.

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
Not worst ever and certainly not as bad as some posted, but I was happy to make the change.

Re: Worst Dash Pad ever Pics
Thought I would get the door panels since I was in there too!
*EDIT - I messed up the order of the pictures but I think you get the gist?
