Welp,
Got the first item in my Diesel restore going. Dropped off my dash to JustDashes, where it will go through a complete re-vitalization. New urethane foam and new vinyl will be vacuumed over it. At $600, its gonna be better than NOS. I will post pics when the work is complete. I had to cut an entire dash frame out of a truck in a pick-a-parts vehicle so, I could give it to them for complete test fitting, glove box defroster garnish and all. (No I could not put the dash in my pocket at Pick a part). So if anybody is intersted in doing this in the future, I have the frame ready to go for the restorers use. Many of you might find this insane to spend 600.00 on a dash, however I will not degrade myself or my truck with bondo and paint on my truck. This will be new new so it wont crack again.
