MA WTB Dash repair piece for AC dash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Thealien** · 07-06-2021, 01:01 PM

I need a repair piece for the cut up radio section for a 1972 Blazer. I know trucks and other years fit just letting you know what I need it for.

Let me know what you have and how much shipped to 02302.

Thanks
Mark

I have one. How big of a piece do you need? It is out of a 71 C-10. $50.00 shipped.

**Thealien** · 07-06-2021, 06:29 PM

This is not an AC dash and the wrong year but its the best I could come up with.

Cutting like this is the least welding and some is covered by the dash pad.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-06-2021, 07:59 PM

Cut it like this red section and just drill the spot welds on the bottom , That way you don't cut thru the bottom support brace and there is very little welding and filling .

Thanks for that tip and or suggestion.

BigBird05 · 07-06-2021, 08:16 PM

That is a very large piece. I was thinking it would be a lot smaller. I can't ship that big of a piece for free.

Post a picture of the piece and get a shipping quote for 02302?

**Grumpy old man** · 07-06-2021, 08:32 PM

Doing it that way saves work and keeps the lower brace intact . using the glove box hinge and lower steering column cover assures you have it correctly aligned .

piece a pictured----75.39 shipped.

BigBird05 · 07-07-2021, 08:03 AM

I think you should go with bl.A.zer 90045. I haven't had time to remove piece from the dash yet.

Please post or send me a picture. Just want to make sure. If it is as described I will take it. Do you plan on cutting as Grumpy Old Man suggested?

Thanks
Mark

Nobody has gotten back to me I’m still looking for a dash piece.

BigBird05 · 07-10-2021, 08:19 AM

I just read an add for a dash in Raleigh, NC. I am waiting for him to get back to me.

BigBird05 · 07-10-2021, 09:36 PM

The guy in Raleigh got back to me and I am trying to get the dash for you.

**1rippen6** · 07-11-2021, 04:37 PM

I'm picking up an a/c on Tuesday, if no one gets back to you. I won't know the condition until I pick it up.

**Thealien** · 07-11-2021, 04:57 PM

sounds good! Thanks

**1rippen6** · 07-15-2021, 03:43 PM

Here is what I have, it does have an extra hole beside the radio. I have a local interested but it has some weird rust on top of the dash so I think he is going to pass.

He picked it up last night, I'll look and see if I may have a patch stashed in storage.

**Thealien** · 07-20-2021, 05:53 PM

Still need a dash repair piece

Thanks

A friend of mine had this dash at his house. there are 4 small screw holes that will need to be filled. They are from a CB and some other thing. He wants $100 for the whole dash + shipping or he will cut out any size piece you want. It is from a 1970 C-10.

I would want it cut just like grumpy old man shows in Post number four.

Before he starts to cut it see if there’s a way he can get a shipping estimate for that size as shown in post number 4 shipped to ZIP Code 02302.

BigBird05 · 07-21-2021, 04:27 PM

I will take some ruff measurements and take it to the post office tomorrow.

BigBird05 · 07-22-2021, 10:45 AM

The ruff estimate I got was for UPS $16.83, USPS $14.65. These are going off of a 5lb weight. If the actual weight is less I will let you know. If this is OK pm me your information
