Have replacement/urethane dash pads improved at all?

I recall that a while ago these things were flimsy around the gauge clusters, would sag, didn't fit the best, were mislabeled in the factory packaging so an order of a 73-78 style pad had a vin cutout, and overall needed lots of tweaking...

Then I remember hearing that they solved the batch/problem with the wrong vin hole being present, and that maybe there was some extra reinforcement that kept the ripple/sag from over the instrument cluster being an issue anymore.

Has anyone bought any lately? If so, what was the verdict? Going to be looking for a dash for 2 of my trucks soon, (one sooner than the other of course) and the one thing I don't want to waste money on is a USED dash that could crack tomorrow, and probably will since many sellers armorall these things to the moon before taking pictures...

I suppose NOS could be an option, but, probably nothing local to me or within a reasonable price range is out there either.

I'd be most interested in finding one for a 1976 at this point in time... Thanks for any input guys!
