Dash pad question...

There are a couple types of reproduction dash pads available. Which one looks most like the original and fits the best? Mine is a little warped and just starting to crack, so I'm thinking about replacing.

I just installed one from the truckand carshop.com. Fit nicely and the color match was right on.

I think the difference is that one of them has the metal insert like the originals and one doesn't. One replacement I have flops all over the place when you pick it up and the other one is like a wedding member.. Be sure and ask if it has the metal insert.

One tip. Screw down the stud nuts first. it makes getting the pan head screws in easier.
