Default Where to get a dash replacement.

I am trying to find a dash replacement. Not the top piece that you see, but the hidden part underneath everything that all the covers screw to. Any ideas where to get it and a possible idea on pricing? Ill post a picture for reference...

Thats the understructure of the dash. You'd have to go to a junkyard and take apart a truck and its dash to get it.

Curious as to why do you need a new one?

If you look at the pictures closely you'll notice on the top bolt of the headlight switch, it is broken off and I can't screw it in. Multiple places are like that on the understructure of my dash, including my climate controls and stereo areas... everything is slowly not being able to be screwed back on.

I would, but like I said, most of the pieces have completely broken off. I don't have anything to screw to lol. Im afraid the dash is so brittle as is that any bigger of a screw might just break it even more...

Hey that looks like my dash, except I havent put in any epoxy, I didnt think it would have helped any because the plastic would just break around it.

I looked for a couple months and could not find anyone who sold it, and junkyards around here dont have many dodges and if they do there dash is way worse off than mine

I had similar problems, got luckey and found one in a junk yard. I wonder if a dealer will have any? I'm sure you'd pay though the nose for it though.
