Dashpad Cover

My dashboard is busted in 2 or 3 places and a new one cost about $170.00,
but at Jeffs Bronco Graveyard i found a dashpad cover for $60.00. has any one used this, or know how well it works, does it cover the hole thing?
is it thick and ugly? or does it look just like the orignal dash?

Not Bad

I bought a dash from a wrecked truck because it looked like it was in perfect shape. When I got it off, I noticed it was just a plastic pad glued onto the old dash. It looked great. I'm not sure where the guy bought it, but my hunch is LMC. I was going to pony up and get a whole new dash, but when I saw how good the pad was, I'm a convert. I'm sure the better (read: more expensive) ones will be better quality and fit tighter. Good luck with it.

I have used the "dashmat" type pad covers in the past with good results. I like the carpet style as they seem to match the type of carpet used in most trucks. they are cheap, less than $30, and can be removed easily as they go on with velcro. they sure look a lot better than a broken up dashpad.

I once had my original recovered locally for $80.00. It looks original but is slightly softer .
