Dashpad

Just started working on my 79 F150. My dashpad was superbad so I removed it and stipped it to clean metal. Anyone make replacment foam for it? It seems all I find are covers made to go over the factory dashpad and cover.

Have you checked LMC truck parts yet they may have a complete repro dash pad for that truck.--else you may want to check with a automotive custom interior place they can probably help you with foam and stuff.

I bought a used, crack-free dash-pad off ebay for $25 plus shipping just last week. LMC has covers for around 100 bucks and full replacements for $300+. A little pricey if you ask me.

Try any Upholstery shop.
That is a pretty dense foam for the dash

It doesn't have to be automotive shop...many boat places make up complete interiors from scratch

Thanks guys for your input. The color does not matter because I will be covering it myself with some fabric my girlfriend picked out. I really just need the foam with no vinyl. I have checked ebay, but maybe I am not searching it right. My LMC catalog is on the way, as I do my best catalog studying in places I do not have my computer.

JUST DASHES, located in the San Fernando Valley, CA will restore your dash to look like new. Get your wallet out - - - the price is around $700.00 to redo one.

LMC will not have what you need.

IMO, you are better off just replacing the pad and dyeing it the colour you need.

Note the key to a good dye job is the amount of curing time it gets before handling.

You do know that you responded to a thread that is almost 7 and a 1/2 years old? And not I have too. lol

Like beer, always ck the born on date or at least the last response date. Information and quality of products change over years.


Congrats on the new dash pad.
