Dash Pad Group Purchase Update
Just a thought as an option. I had my dash pad recovered with foam and matching vinyl at a local trim shop for $80.00. I like original parts but you cannot tell the difference. You do have to clean it off good and use a heat gun to shape the material.

Dash Pad Group Purchase Update
Phew, purt near 300 clams is too rich for my blood anyways...I was thinking it was something like the $89 dash jobber lmc has. Perhaps thats considered a dash "cover" rather than a "pad". Thanks for the price though.

Dash Pad Group Purchase Update
Look at the defrost vents, speaker holes and where the pad hits the door frame next to the window. Its a giveway that you have a cover instead of a pad, especially to show judges. Plus the one inch flat edge ends up being too wide. I considered a cover for my 67 until I saw a couple of them at shows, especially one on a Rangoon Red 67. I'm not a purist by far, but seat covers and dash pads are two things that I definately think ought to be done 100%. Its sort of like going to a show and seeing a homemade fan shroud. Some people see it and say "neat". I see them and think "the guy didn't look hard enough to find one." I guess its all in what you plan to do with your truck.

I totally agree with you Ken, if I was restoring mine I'd have to go with the pad. But since mine is just a burly mudder...

Dash Pad Group Purchase Update
I sure wish we could get a group purchase going for some of the chrome (anodized aluminum) on 73--79 trucks. I would like to get the chrome for tailgate and rear lites but $310 is a bit much for 4 peices of aluminum 73 F-100 shortbed 302 cu. in. C4 auto

Dash Pad Group Purchase Update
You're too late. The original group purchase announcement was made ago 6 weeks ago. The pads were ordered almost 3 weeks ago and were shipped 12 days ago. The group purchase is over.
I have 2 73-79 pads in stock. Normal price is $290. I will sell one for $50 off at $240 to the first person here who orders it. Don't wait this time, I don't plan on any future dash pad discounts due to the hassle of getting an entire pallet shipped.
