Counterparts dash pad review.

[Greasey Harley]

I purchased a counterparts, dark blue dash, for my '68 C10.
I read a lot of reviews ....and bought one anyway.
Why?
Because they offered it in dark blue, and my original pad was dark blue.
This was the only one I could find in dark blue.
I had no desire to dye my dash, and wanted one that was the right color.


---> also, my dash looked like this:

Had to modify the dash to get the thing to fit.
With the help of a carbide tipped Dremel, I slotted the holes in the dash 'til the silly thing would bolt down flat.

After much screwing around, I got it to lay flat.

It was disappointing that the truck had to be modified to accommodate a poorly fitted part. Fortunately, the pad covers the modified holes, and looks WAY better than the old pad. To my eye, the color is a perfect match.

Would I do it again?
Heck Yeah!!!

Paired with the new steering wheel, it gives me a whole new outlook


Seriously though, they should fix the way these things fit
