I don't think there are any differences other than color.

The straight crack happened this morning the other crack is were it broke when I was installing the radio I glued it back together.
The radio just slides around now.
This was broken when I bought it.

Can you take an overall picture so I can see the features of the dash in the event it is different from the 00? The 05-07 F250/350 truck dashes changed quite a bit from the 99-04 trucks.
Just trying to ensure you get the right dash.
I am betting the black coloring they added to that dash plastic is the reason it is cracking. The browns and grays don't have that problem.

My ex is garage kept save for a few years in between houses and even then I kept window shades in all the windows. My black dash panel is like peanut brittle. Every time I mess with it it falls into more pieces. The rest of my interior is in really good shape. Last year I removed it and fiberglass reenforced a few places but now it is failing under the head unit just like the pic above. Frustrating.

Hey man, I was wondering if you're able to get more than one of those? I had started another similar thread for the same purposes with my black bezel on my 05 having the same issue. Trying to find a way to get a replacement...

this is the reason i dont like dark/black dash's to much in a vehicle darker the color the more heat it soaks up an drys the plastic out to point of becoming horribly brittle i tend to lean to greys or use one of those reflective sheets you put up to your windshield to block the UV from drying out the dash
