Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

I'd like to add my experience:

The "Counterpart" pad would not fit as described above.

The "Just Dashes" fell into place. Perfect fit.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

I paid $60.00 for the Dashes Direct in 2020, $139.00 today ? WTF ? Over 50% increase. Hate to see shipping costs now.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

Interesting. I paid Summit Racing under $60 and $15 for tax and shipping.

Where did you get yours?

What's funny, is I paid $75 for a non-fitting Counterpart pad not including shipping.

Sorry, I just realized you said "Dashes Direct", not "Just Dashes."

I recommend keeping the original and re-covering it with new vinyl. Better than aftermarket stuff.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

Not sure which is the best but don't buy National Parts Depot dash pad. Flimsy and lifts away from dash top bolts. I tossed mine in the dumpster.
(bought last month)

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

I have to admit that the DD pad did fit perfectly and after a few years showed absolutely no sign of issues. I sold the truck and the new owner was very happy with it. I wanted to buy another one for my 71 C/20 but the cost landed is now in question.

Question Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

https://www.dashesdirect.com/HTML/Ca...l%20Dash%20Pad

https://www.dashesdirect.com/HTML/Ca...t%20Dash%20Pad

So, just to be clear, which is the better Dashes Direct part? The $140 or the $90? Looking at authentic grain and fit.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Decent Dash Pad ?

The Dashes Direct pad I bought for $60.00 back in 2020 fit great with little to no problems. I just checked their site and it’s now $109.00. I checked last week and it was priced at 139.00 ? It’s the freight charge that is the killer for me. I am thinking about trying to recover mine just for the experience.
