I'm hoping you meant 180.00 and not 1800.00.

are you missing yours?  is it cracked?  why are you looking to replace it?

all sorts of companies offer the dash pads or covers for them.

if that's the case, 180 isn't bad.  you could get lucky at a j/y too. (not likely but you never know).

No I meant $1800.00 The reason I need another one is that I bought one from eBay. And it really never fit wright. I mean it's just so frustrating.  I checked this place called just dash. They told me to send them my old dash and $895.00 and they would doit 99.9 like oem. Has any body here heard of that company?

Just Dashes will rebuild and recover an OEM one.  Last time I looked it was about $400.  Still spendy, but they do really nice work.

I agree with this, on e-bay I saw a headlight bezel for $250.00 all purdy and shiny, then saw one for $15.00.  some people pay for something shiny I guess.

I had one OEM dash left about 2 months ago.  It was listed as always for $575, no one wanted to pay that much, I seriously doubt anyone would by one for $1800.  It got shipped overseas to a customer.  No idea how well it travelled..

The ones I sell for $350 are as close to stock as possible, and I will be using them on my trucks.  Just Dashes last time I talked to them wanted $550 for them and then he referred me to my Vendor as in he didn't want to do it...  This was about 2 years ago, and I was already selling the Vendors aftermarket dash but someone wanted theirs restored REALLY bad....

do they have the metal frame part? Like the oem. The one's you sell. Will I have to do any modifications with yours? Man I wish I had seen this site a couple of months ago so I could have bought you that OEM one you had!!!

Yes they have a metal frame.  It is not extensive as the factory but it is there. 
The ones I sell just need the clips removed from the one there now and bolted in...  They also may need the edges trimmed like all the factory ones I sold...

This is the 81-87(91) dash:

thanks for the info. I guess I
can try it out. I'd rather pay 350 than 1800 any day
