Repo Dash Pads

[goody]

Has anyone bought the Reproduction Dash Pads that are available? They are a little pricey (400) but I am mostly concerned about how they fit, and whether they will last. Anyone have experience with these?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I looked at J.C. Whitney website and all I could find were the Dash Toppers, not the actual pads. /maybe they dont carry them anymore.

Watch ebay for a week or two. Normally you don't see many of these but for what ever reason there was at least 5 on there last week. Some were used - described as very good to excellent, some were patched and dyed, and at least one was original new old stock. They sold for between 100.00 and 305.00. I bought one for 100.00 plus 45.00 shipping from Washington state to North Carolina. It arrived Friday and I was really pleased, much better than I expected.

I'm speaking of used ones of course, not repos.

Thats not the pad that is just a cover that goes over the pad.

Goody, who ever you buy a dash from i would check to see if its made from origanal tooling because if you buy a aftermarket dashpad and it dont fit right youll have to look at it everytime you drive down the road. dennis-carpenter.com sells dash pads for $370 but they dont say if its original tooling or not, a old book ive got says it is but the new book dosent say

how about going to the the local apolistry shope and have on custom made for you truck probley cost you about the same, if not you can at least give us idea and a few choices

[goody]

Thanks guys for the replies. I havent found anyone who claims their pad is from Original tooling. The Dash Toppers for $89 are not the answer. I think I will try ebay for a NOS one as jnewton suggested. Thank you.

Have you contacted DC to ask if theirs uses the same tooling?

[jnewton59]

Goody - Check ebay item #300468556504 just went on. You might know it is here in N.C. after I had one shipped clear across the country.

Hi, i havent asked DC about their dash pad yet, but I will. I am watching the pad that came up on ebay. Thanks for the help guys.

I bought one from LMC for my truck and it is just like the original. Very nice.

JC Whitney still has 'em... http://www.jcwhitney.com/ford-truck-vin ... 343y1970j1 but they've gone up since last time I looked. They used to be under $300 and I swear I looked a month or two ago and they must have been having a sale cuz it was under $200. Now they're $450!
