Dash Pad Replacement Questions

[Slonaker]

I'm interested in getting a new dash pad for my truck. Actually, my wife asked if I wanted one for my birthday/anniversary/Valentine's day. The dealer, when I asked about a year ago, wanted almost $400 for one, so that is out of the question. Chevy Duty gets $275.

I tried looking it up at www.gmpartsdirect.com, but can never find anything there without a part number. Does anyone know the part number for an '86 Silverado dash?

Am I safe in assuming I will have to take whatever color is available and dye it to match my interior?

Someone (5-8 Chevy, maybe...) posted a link to a dealer somewhere that ships parts cheap. Does anyone recall the name of the dealer?

Chevy Duty also sells a urethane replacement pad for $224. How well do the repros fit? Does the urethand hold up any better than the factory dashes?

Thanks,
