Dash fire
The fire seems to have started in the ac controls. The fire melted the center of the dash. Insurance wants to give me $2700.00. I'm the original owner and the truck has 117000 miles on it. It's a nice truck and I'd like to keep it. I have after market ac, installed about 1987. If I have to replace the dash I'd like to go with a factory ac dash. Anybody have any experience with this topic? The blower does not appear to be damaged but the fire melted my stereo including the ashtray and the top of the dash.

Sounds like you're getting a reasonable settlement - are they letting you keep the truck at the $2700 amount, or do they want it? If they want the truck, how much are they figuring for the salvage title?
You shouldn't have any trouble finding a decent used dash and all the factory A/C parts. Look thru my signature link and see what all I've done to my truck.
