I have been looking to buy some Polished Billet dash & door covers/inserts for my 2 1987 trucks but can only find brushed ones. Who knows the cheapest/ best place where i can buy them from? Any help would rock! thanks

Try Empire Motor Sports Products. They make either the satin or polished versions.
Trucknvans.com offers the cluster panel http://www.trucknvans.com/Instrument...M_p/8187_p.htm,
the passenger side accent http://www.trucknvans.com/Pass_Side_...p/8187da_p.htm,

I would recommend Empire Motorsports. Here's why:

I originally ordered from them a satin ("brushed") finish gauge cluster insert with holes custom cut for AutoMeter gauges. I wanted satin to match the gauges and the dash/door inserts I had previously bought from LMC (way overpriced BTW).

However, they messed up and sent me a polished one. It was an absolutely beautiful piece, though it wouldn't match what I already had. So I called Empire to let them know of the error, and this was their remedy:

1) They would send me a new custom-cut satin finish and
let me keep the polished one too or
2) They would send me new dash and door trim pieces in
polished finish

Either way, the price of the parts they would give me for free was over $100! So I went with option 2, and sold the satin pieces from LMC as well, meaning I came out way ahead! I have never dealt with customer service this good, in any shape, form or fashion, period!

BTW, this is my first post, I've been lingering awhile but really haven't been able to contribute anything of value until now as my truck has been on the back burner for some time...great forum, great people, I love it!

well thanks to you and all the people who have replied, it is very much appreciated! Btw, like everyone always says here,..Welcome to the site! I have been looking for a set of these for awhile now and will prolly just break down and buy two full sets at once, and get it done with. Price is fairly cheap, although i'm sure by the time i have it all sent up here it won't be quite so cheap. Either way, i'm happy, so thanks again.
