I have 2 1970 trucks. Both have been in the desert their entire life. The flatbed's dash pad is roached. The CST's pad has one little crack because it was always covered with a towel.

I'm not looking forward to replacing the flatbed's dash pad. It seems like a massive pain and it's a color that isn't reproduced and I'm trying to keep the original color on the truck as much as I can but color matching some of these more obscure colors make it tough.

So I would say to just keep it covered.
