dash protector?
Hello All,
Well I'm thinking of doing something about the dash. It's right in front of your face, can't help but notice the cracks.
Replacesments for 1965 look like $500 plus.
1967 and up are $80.
I'm not paying $500 for a dash replacement. Ha. So what's underneath? Is it unsightly?
And what about these Dash Protectors? (they are much cheaper)

Anyway, thanks for your input, everyone have a good weekend!

the original dash pads are glue on type pads...the amount of goo used depends on the person applying the goo and installing it way back when I assume....Ive heard of some that didnt survive removal cause of a ton of glue, and some that had hardly any used. The dash underneath is painted, but there would be glue and foam leftovers most likely...the paint under it is sure to be as new and thus shiny and pose a poissible glare if thats an issue with you...just giving you a heads up as mine is shriveled up over the LH side but Im leaving it on cause the glare is irritating .

Update: I removed the dash pad on my 65. Underneath was some very pretty red paint. Wish the whole truck looked that way. Interior is pretty well stripped. Floor pans were replaced. I think I'm close to just repainting the interior. I'm going to just go with out a dash pad...I like the metal dash. Just hope I don't end up eating it. =|
