Question 86 Silverado Dash Panel help

Hello all,

I am in need of a dash panel for my truck, the one I have is mangled. it is the steel panel that is spot welded to the windshield frame, and that the dash pad mounts to.

Is there a company that makes reproduction pieces? I have seen an all aluminum one, that looks pretty cool from http://www.diy4x.com

does anyone know of any other companies that sell a complete dash panel?

kind regards,
naphtali

I don't need a dash "pad" i need the steel panel that the dash pad bolts to. it's the steel panel that is spot welded to the lower windshield opening, and is bolted to each side of the inside of the cab.

I'm pretty positive no one makes them. Look for a new cab or the bracing at a junkyard?

i appreciate it looked at LMC, and just about all the other big name truck companies, looking for one, it boggles the mind that you can get every other repair panel out there except for this one.

thanks again and kind regards,

Re: 86 Silverado Dash Panel help

What happened to it? Can it be straightened? In a 77 I had the dash was smashed when I hit the dash in a accident (I have worn a seat belt since) and with a little time I pulled it back out. Just a thought
