Dash top question
Were the tops of dashboards ever trimmed with vinyl? My 67 has the area between the dash pad and the screen covered in (peeling) vinyl and I want to know if this is original or has been done some time later in its life. If it is not original when I peel it off I presume it should be the same satin black as the dash, is this right? It is a very basic trimmed truck, no headliner, no chrome trim.

I removed my black dash pad and covered the top of dash with black crinkle finish vinyl ( kinda pebble grained -like a football!). I trimmed the plastic for a close fit along the winshield and extended the new vinyle so that it would be covered when the dash pad was re-installed....I used a coat of contact cement on the metal dash top and a coat of cement on the vinyl. Then cut out the holes for the defroster vents that I had previously removed. Re-installed the dash pad and defroster vents.
Did all this about 10 yrs ago....and no problems.......Jim

No, they did not come with any covering stock. They were all painted flat color, normally body color.
