Dash Woes
So, of course my 95' Dash is complete junk.... There are only replacement tops and I want to at least change the color.... that being said, what are the options?
New Dash top replace and paint for a color change?
Newer 2nd gen dash swap?
Something custom?
I havent came up with any real good ideas short of an all aluminum or retrofit a newer one... which I am not sure I am committed enough to do...

Yes, dash tops.... but that doesn't address the lower portion of the dash.

I like the 4th gen dash Idea, I would want it all functioning, and I am not sure I that committed.

Ever seen what minus 30 degrees can do to plastic?
It makes it very brittle AND shrinkage (contraction) does the rest.
Most of the (formerly) nice 98+ dash tops I had, cracked in the cold of winter.

My second one is cracked now. Pisses me off. Dash parts plus has one with a lifetime warranty.
Mine is painted a chocolate brown color. Was that ever a factory option? Seen another online painted the same. Looks good over tan I think. I have been eyeballing longhorn seats. Think they would look good together.
Kind of screwed on the lower part. Junkyard maybe.

I've seen several of the '94-'97 with the brown/tan dash combo like that.

Both of my '98s had pristine dashes. My 12v still does. I actually think I tossed the one from my 24v when I parted it out. A bit of a shame in hindsight. But of all the trucks I've been in (admittedly not a huge number, but enough) dash cracking is a very small issue up here.
