dash pad cover?

Post by hotrod ford »

how do you install these? do they need to be glued to the old pad?

has anyone seen these? they are made of plastic and are supposed to cover the old pad you have in your truck. i have seen them for about 90 dollar average. are they woth the money, or would you have the old pad re-done?

Here's a good thread on installing a "dash cap".

I just installed one in my 67.Looks very nice and easy to do if you follow the instructions.Be sure and cut all of the cracks out if you have any.After appling the pad I placed a towel over it and put as many bricks as I could fit on top of it and left it over night.I also jammed a small slat of wood between the seat and the dash to hold the bottom edge.Good luck,Calvin

I just got one from Blue Oval for the '68. It looks good. :thup: The ends don't come down far enough to completely cover the original pad but I'm happy with it.
I weighted mine down with 10 boxes of shotgun shells :) Didn't have any bricks.
