Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
I'd like to add my experience:
The "Counterpart" pad would not fit as described above. The "Just Dashes" fell into place. Perfect fit. |

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
I paid $60.00 for the Dashes Direct in 2020, $139.00 today ? WTF ? Over 50% increase. Hate to see shipping costs now.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
Interesting. I paid Summit Racing under $60 and $15 for tax and shipping.
Where did you get yours? What's funny, is I paid $75 for a non-fitting Counterpart pad not including shipping. |

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
Sorry, I just realized you said "Dashes Direct", not "Just Dashes."

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
I recommend keeping the original and re-covering it with new vinyl. Better than aftermarket stuff.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
Not sure which is the best but don't buy National Parts Depot dash pad. Flimsy and lifts away from dash top bolts. I tossed mine in the dumpster.
(bought last month) |

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
I have to admit that the DD pad did fit perfectly and after a few years showed absolutely no sign of issues. I sold the truck and the new owner was very happy with it. I wanted to buy another one for my 71 C/20 but the cost landed is now in question.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
https://www.dashesdirect.com/HTML/Ca...l%20Dash%20Pad
https://www.dashesdirect.com/HTML/Ca...t%20Dash%20Pad So, just to be clear, which is the better Dashes Direct part? The $140 or the $90? Looking at authentic grain and fit.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?
The Dashes Direct pad I bought for $60.00 back in 2020 fit great with little to no problems. I just checked their site and it’s now $109.00. I checked last week and it was priced at 139.00 ? It’s the freight charge that is the killer for me. I am thinking about trying to recover mine just for the experience.
