Replacement Dash Pad or "cover"
Hi Guys, I have a ways to go before I need interior parts for my project 82'... but doesn't hurt to be prepared. The original dash is rough... seeing some dash covers on the market. Anyone use these, or is a whole replacement dash pad the way to go?

Re: Replacement Dash Pad or "cover"
I got one from LMC, it was from dashes direct. The fitment is pretty good and has held up so far in my truck.

Re: Replacement Dash Pad or "cover"
Curious on this also, why not LMC? . I am looking for a replacement dash pad in camel. I can find the cover in that color on LMC but not the replacement pad it's self.

Re: Replacement Dash Pad or "cover"
CaptKaos sells the Dashes Direct pad in his store, says it's the Dashes Direct one which many people have said fits well.

Re: Replacement Dash Pad or "cover"
The people who are using the Dashes Dorect pad what J clips/ speed clips are you using in the corners to attach the bezel. Like the original pad would have attached.

Re: Replacement Dash Pad or "cover"
I've seen some killer jobs done by upholstery shops recovering the oem ones. My local shop quoted 175 and he does great work.
