Mine was perfect when I bought the truck a year and a half ago. Then about this time last year I went off-roading in the desert, nothing hard core, and there were three cracks in the dash when I got back to the pavement. I said damdamdamdamdamdam.

It's odd. I bought it with a trashed tranny, busted dash, and bent up lower panels on bed. Last favor I ever do for THAT brother in law......

Between keeping him from having a repo on his record, an extra truck I can't park in the garage (7 vehicles), he OWES me forever! But a good price. He even wants to help me work on it now.....I'm thinking he will be doing a LOT of sanding when I repaint this and the Jag!

I think he just remembered that he forgot his stash of "oregano" in there and needs to get it back. jk

Worked on dash again this afternoon. This looks a whole lot better now! No more beige towel laying on the dash to hide the mess!


This hole was not aligned so I had to drill one closer to front edge to get screw into clip.

Thanks. Something between a toy and something to haul car trailer. As soon as I get everything done except body work, I'll move Jag into garage to work on it - electrical, steering rebuild, and suspension work. Paint both in the spring. Back yard and rear carport getting congested.

Looks like you might have to repaint the lower dash assembly to get perfect match?
