Replacement Dash Pad Quality/ price/color/vendor...
« on: March 28, 2017, 12:04:44 pm »
Shopping for a new Dash Pad for a 1974 Chevy c10 stepside.  I have decided to go with a full replacement rather than a cover.  Prices seem to range from about 200 for a polyurethane replacement to about 340 for a steel covered with fabric more like original replacement.  Looking for best bang for the buck.  Anybody know of something extra great or to steer away from?  Also I would like to match the color to the rest of the truck.  The truck is mostly gray interior but the dash pad is black.  Is there any particular reason I should stay with the black?

The site store sells the dash pad you want: 1973-78 CHEVY / GMC OE STYLE VINYL DASH PAD.  Prepare and dye the pad to the color of your choice using a high quality dye.  Preparation is the key to a satisfying outcome.  Avoid the polyurethane replacements.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Avoid the cover and go with a full new pad, you'll be very pleased. Keep it factory black, i guess in your case, and obviously you can avoid dying. Not immortality. Lol
