Best replacement dash pad for 1978 Blazer


As is the norm, the dash pad on my new-to-me 1978 Blazer is cracked in a number of places.

I don't want a cover or a carpet, I want an actual replacement.

Any suggestions for the best source for a emplacement dash pad?

Will do.

I looked around for a dash pad on the store, missed it somehow.

I generally have these in stock but AMD has an offering now and I plan to check them out.  How big of a hurry are you in?  I go on vacation this weekend.

Come on Chris! You don't have time for a VACA!  8)

Eager to hear what you find, my K10 needs some love in that area.

Enjoy

I purchased an OEM looking dash pad from USA1 Industries. The pad was of good quality but I would only recommend getting it in Black. Any other color they have to paint. I ordered a saddle / tan color one and had to return it because the paint on it would scratch very easily. The color paint would not hold up to normal wear and tear.

Check out OER PP818 for a perfect dark saddle match that holds up very nicely.

Find a good upholstery shop and have it covered.  Had mine done, it was cheaper than replacing it and I knew it would fit without fighting it.

AMD currently only offers the 81-87 version.  I am waiting for details on it.
I can have the ones we sell shipped or drop shipped if we dont have them within about 10 days.
