Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi

Those urethane dashes will warp. There are only 2 places that I know that have metal frame dashes, Cheyenne & USA1 Industries. I have heard good things about both dashes.
I saw a guys URETHANE dash that was less than a year old. It looked like sh!t, it was warped/wavy. It was nasty looking

Yep, that’s what my experience was too.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi

I’m plugging along on the d/s door panel. Got it taken off and taken all apart. I’ve cleaned the panel itself up and it looks pretty good, but the upper metal trim and the velour inset piece looks like poop so I sourced new ones.

The replacement carpet lower panel looks much better than the original ones!

Wow those old ones were dirty. Those do look a lot better. I like the wheels too
