Mine needs one but for the life of me, I haven't a clue how to replace it.

How much on E-Bay?

$79 shipped Old one is not bad to get out if you have the heater out and the steering column. or you could just cut it.

That looks like the one I bought off Ebay. It depends on what you expect. If you want the original look, you'll be disappointed. If you just need a new pad for your driver, it's ok. It's not molded, but it fit fairly well with a little trimming here and there, and a couple extra mounting clips installed. It's a slick rubber face with insulation on the back. Holes are precut, or at least stamped. It sure beats the old smelly, stained, and torn original in my truck. If you want the best, I guess you have to spend more.

I'd rather spend the extra money for a good one from Carpenters. The heater and steering column will be out this winter so that will be a good time to do it.

Here are some pics I haven't installed it yet. I just placed it in the truck. It comes in a box rolled up. For my truck it will be fine lots of modifications coyote gas pedal, vintage air ac hydro boost , etc. It didn't make sense to cut up a $300+ and for $80 shipped didn't pay to trace my old one. Even Dennis Carpenters is not like the original its abs plastic . DCs is also 249.95 plus shipping which I think is truck freight like another $100 or so. I'm sure DC's is much better quality just ordered $250 of parts that came today and they look very nice. The ebay pad seams to be some king of rubber with jute back, did have a smell when I first opened box but I'll check again tomorrow.
I have to take gas pedal out and emergency brake to check fit.
