We have the bright blue dash pad in stock, and the 71-72 windshield gasket that accepts the trim. You can call us toll free 888-338-2502 and place an order if you like. WES

IIRC the bright blue pad is the only one available.Save the trim since most claim the aftermarket trim does not work well.It's a pain anyway according to what I've read.

The problem is the bright blue dash pad isn`t the same bright blue as a seat which is a more metallic blue.That`s fine for the later trucks,but the a`68 would have had one closer to the seat color and a`69 would have dark blue.They don`t make all the colors.Just one shade of each color...the one they figured we`d need the most.Dying vinyl is very safe these days.It`s the industry standard to dye interior colors.You can take something for your paint shop to scan and they can make you a spray bomb.There`s a product called BullyDog adhesive promoter that will garauntee a good job.
