Thats what I thought. Haha. Super glue or duct tape??? I can live with a small crack...for now.

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.
I didn't know the dashes changed again in 97. Thanks for the tip. May look into the fiberglass deal.
