Looks great. Instead of selling it you need to buy the 20" Boyds that Kenduhl has for sale and drop it a bit more....

BTW- Where did you get the dash pad???

yeah what about that dash pad? You got it from Chevy Duty right? Or classic Industries? Either way, how is the quality of it? It looks good, but looks might be deceiving.

I ordered a chevy duty catalog about 2 months ago and still havent received it yet.

I bought it off ebay but its from Dashes Direct, it has a full metal backing just like the factory and the same grain and finish. It fit pretty good and bolted up but I think the fit could have been better (Im a picky SOB) because I had to wrestle with it somewhat, but this is the first one I have ever done. All my buddys still have the factory dried-up cracked dashs so I have nothing to compare this too in real life so I cant recommend this over another brand without a comparison. I will take this over my old one anyday, plus my truck has that new car smell now

John, I had a Dashes Direct pad and really didn't care for it (I am picky too!). I bought mine on Ebay too from a place called The Parts Place...and I will never purchase from them again. Their ads are misleading (they have "adjusted" them a little after I complained to them) and their customer service is horrible. I piad $200 for mine. I ended up selling mine to another board member for quite a bit less...but he is happy and I now have more garage space and some extra money for other projects.

No it was alot less, however it was new in the box. It fits pretty good and looks good too, its just not OEM quality IMO but what aftermarket repros are?

John,

Your truck looks great and you know you will regret selling it.

It seems like the only thing it needs is a steering wheel (IMO, of course).
