Need just a little help!!
I just bought me a 2001 dually! I am trying to gussy up the interior. It has the wood grain around the doors and such but I am looking for a wood grain dash bezel ! Been seaching the web but no luck so far. I believe they are quite common on the Excursion? So anybody have a line on one i would be most grateful!! Thanks
Will get some pics on here when I put the finishing touches on her!!

Thanks for the reply fellas! i looked through Ebay and no cigar! The other place OEMDASH looks like I have to send them my dash and they coat it with the grain No prices and more shipping. I was hoping to just find a replacement wood grain dash bezel.

They sent us the steering wheel and we sent our old one back as a core. Looks like they still do it this way. You can get pricing by filling out their online form. OEMDash -- Free Quote

OEMDASH.COM Core Deposit Scam
<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000; COLOR: #000000" SIZE=1 itxtvisited="1"><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --><!-- In 1st Post Ad --><TABLE border=0 width="100%" itxtvisited="1"><TBODY itxtvisited="1"><TR itxtvisited="1"><TD vAlign=top width="100%" itxtvisited="1">This is a warning to forum members considering ordering dash kits from OEM Dash. This company scammed me out of nearly $500 and I would like to outline my horrible experience dealing with OEMDASH.com and Stuart Bailey so that others aren’t scammed like I was.
How the scam works:
-Parts are ordered from OEMDASH.COM and they take a large deposit for the return of your cores. In my case the deposit was $600. They will also take your credit card number which may be used at their discretion in the future should the deposit not cover the cost of the parts.
-I returned my parts to Stuart Bailey in Indiana and they were inspected by his wife. I received no emails or phone calls after returning the cores but had not received my deposit back.
-I called Stuart Bailey a month later to inquire about the status of my deposit. He advised that I would not receive my deposit back because he claimed two parts were damaged. I then advised that he should send me a photo of the damaged parts and provide the replacement cost for them to be deducted from my deposit. After this, I didn’t hear anything from him for a couple of weeks.
-I was finally able to get a hold of Stuart Bailey and OEM Dash and he proceeded to lie to me that he tried contacting me, when I confronted him about his dishonesty, he because agitated and told me in certain terms that:
A) I would not receive the balance of my deposit back.
B) He would not ship my backordered parts (3 months after ordering rear window switches).
C) He would not fix a broken vent panel he had sent me.
-I provided pricing for the broken parts that I received from an internet retailer of GM OEM Parts for $192.00 and offered to buy the parts and have them sent to Mr. Stuart so that he would refund my deposit. Not only was I not given this opportunity, but he said that he was simply going to keep all my money and not send my backordered parts nor fix a broken panel he had sent me.
At this point I have been scammed out of a total of $478.00:
- $600 dollar deposit (less $192.00 replacement parts) = $408.00
- $69.99 window switches (backordered and never sent) = $70.00
I could not believe that a seller could be so deceitful and shady. Mr. Stuart didn’t even hide the fact that he was blatantly stealing from me. He just asked me “what do you think you can do about it?â€
Since I live in Canada, OEMDASH.com and Stuart Bailey know that it is unlikely that I will ever travel to Indiana to take them to small claims court. I can only assume that they have pulled this same trick on countless other individuals. The only recourse I have is to spread the word to others so that you don’t make the same mistake as I did. If given the opportunity, OEMDASH.com and Stuart Bailey WILL steal your money.
As a further follow up, I have contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s online fraud department and filed a suit with the Canadian Border Services Agency. Sellers like this who think they can scam their customers out of their hard earned money have no place in today’s marketplace.
I hope I have saved at least one of you from having to go through the same experience as I have.
Best of luck,
Ryan
