Hi
Hello,
Im new to the site, but have used it in the past. I find it to be a great resource. Ive got a 1969 C20 2wd custom camper. Its a great truck. I just rebuilt the carb, replaced the fuel pump, water pump and radiator. Also repaired all the rust spots,repaired the radio section of the dash (it was cut out), reupholstered the seat, put in new exhaust and painted the front and rear bumpers (temporary.. it looked bad), and changed the gears from 4.10 to 3.73 for better cruising on the highway. I took out the factory dash pad since it was cracked today and bought a replacement, but it didnt fit right. Has anyone else run in to this problem? I bought it from socal speed shop in az. The old one had a lot of space on the back and the new one was shallow. Has anyone compared the stock dash pad to one from brothers or lmc? Thanks |

Re: Hi
Welcome to the forum! Brothers dash pad is a very good quality reproduction that is very close to the original. I have used several and would buy one from them again as needed.
