Dash or Dash Pad?
I'm upgrading my 80 dash to an 81-87, so I don't have a dash. Does anyone sell a dash, not a pad? I was looking at the classic Industries one and it looked complete except clips? I can get clips?
Is this a quality dash? or a pad? |

Re: Dash or Dash Pad?
the inside of the dash is virtually the same the pad is the difference

Re: Dash or Dash Pad?

Re: Dash or Dash Pad?
thanx for the good comments on the dash guys ,the dash is the 189 one .it isnt perfect around the cluster but it works for me .if its goin in a show car i wouldnt recommend it ,good for a daily driver though.

Re: Dash or Dash Pad?
I got the factory dash from LMC. It actually came in GM oem packaging, and even it wasen't perfect. It was expensive to boot and isn't what I would say is show quality. Get the cheaper one. jim
