Usse an OEM dash or a dash cap. The aftermarket ones are CRAP

Use the OEM dash, from what I have seen of the aftermarket ones they dont fit very well.

I replaced the dash pad once and dropped the bigger bill.  Was glad I did.  Skimp (if you have to) on something you won't stare at everyday...

No Chris I sure dont there is a man locally that I have used in the past but like you said he wants to charge you an arm and a leg and he will not order it unless you order so much.  Good luck with your dash and tweed and let us know how it turns out.

The dash I sell for 81-91 trucks isn't a repop, it is an OEM GM dash.
