Title: Dash Pad
Post by: millerh on March 22, 2015, 08:42:49 pm: I am the proud new owner on an 85 C10. The truck is all stock and in need of all the usual replacements. I am wondering what companies are making the best dash pad replacements? Also looking for carpet, door panels, a/c vents just to get started.

thanks in advance.

If yours is not too bad you could take it to an good upholstery shop and have them to redo it. As for everything else it's expensive but affordable.

Post by: Irish_Alley on March 23, 2015, 01:09:06 pm: im lucky my wife lets me play with my trucks as long as there's a "reasonable" reason. like the crew cab its a family truck, so ideally a family truck wouldnt be lifted BUT if it has to be lifted to clear the transmission or make room for the driveshafts cause you had to move the transmission back then thats ok
