Dashes Direct Dash Pads

Figured I'd share my experience with the replacement dash pads from Dashes Direct. The dash fits perfect, which is not an overstatement, I made no modifications, it literally dropped into place. The quick nuts are supplied, I did have to supply the nut clips and screws for the lower/underside of it (four total). It conforms really well and feels, as I imagine, it would have in 1967.

Re: Dashes Direct Dash Pads

I put one of those in my '70 about 10 years ago, fit and looked like OEM.

Gotta remove the glove box liner and the instrument cluster, unless you can reach the nuts without doing that. I could not. I don't remember if I removed the radio or not. Also, my truck does not have A/C, which may make it more difficult also. Overall, not a hard job, just takes a little time.
