Molded Plastic Dashboard Cover?
Hi, I am thinking of placing an order tonight through LMC Truck for a Molded Plastic Dashboard Cover. They are $89.95 and fit right over the old and will not fade or crack. I was wondering if anyone else has bought one of these and how easy are they to install and how nice do they look? I want to restore my truck to near show quality, so I don't want to skimp and make it look cheesy! Thanks for the help and I appreciate some quick replies!

I think if you're going for near show quality, you would be better off getting another dash pad. You can pick up a very nice used one on eBay for $100 to $200 and a brand new replacement for $400 (I think).

I deleted my padded dash, welded up the holes and smoothed it with a bit of filler. Got a pic in my gallery if you want to see the results. As the guys said, the plastic covers are just cheap junk. Maybe with a bit of work you could make it fit better and put some upholstery on it or something. Not sure that all that work would even make it presentable......
