I'm thinking that Just Dashes would be a good resource, but they don't offer a cover for the 95-98's. It may be because the dash change in '95 and again in '97. So, there may be something to the idea of using fiberglass to skim the original, and then paint it. It's gotta be cheaper than going for an OEM dash pad that may be just as brittle.

I guess our trucks are in that cusp of years that the aftermarket hasn't decided to accomodate in a total manner. Some stuff is out there, but not all.
