New Dash Pad Install




New dash pad I installed today, RH view





New dash pad drivers side

I remove the old beat up dash pad in installed this new one today. There is no radio in my 72 F100 so it was about a 2 hour job.

What vendor did you use?
Was black the only color available?
I've been trying to find a factory color red/burgundy one.
Thanks

Trevor,
I got my dash pad from Dennis Carpenter, they are available in black or tan, they can be dyed to pretty much what ever color you want. My truck is blue and white but I want to eventually change the color, so over the course of a few years I changed the door panels to dark gray, the seat is from a 94 and is gray, so I went with the black dash pad.
The trucks a daily driver, and since I take the dog with a lot I have a dog proof seat cover on most of the time.

Here's picture from last summer, I had a 5.0 EFI and AOD from an 88 Crown Vic installed. The truck is a work in progress/ daily driver.

Very nice! That really dresses up the interior. Mine isn't trashed, just a bit wavy, but judging from your pics a new one would make a big difference. I would consider a dash cover to protect it from the sun.

It is! But on St.Patricks day they had a one day sale of 15% off on items over $299, so I ordered the dash pad and got $60 off.

I think that driver is worried that you'll figure out how the extra miles got on that truck.LOL
Nice job on the dash and the whole truck looks very nice.
