Trip94...Excellent job. My dash has one big crack from the middle windshield bolt up to the front. I reviewed the pics and noted you used a glue gun. Did that work well enough you think to hold it together permanently? If not, what would be your suggestion? I am hoping to just glue up the crack in mine since it is relatively straight and clean.

Default Thanks.

Thanks for the tips ad comments folks.
Kurgen. Not sure how i would handle just one crack without it showing up the crack like a sore thumb. Before i started on mine., I could have put my beagle in there. I I even considered leaving it the way it was just for easy access. I took a couple more pics after i pulled the truck out of the pole barn and noticed a spot that i missed. Good thing is that its easy to correct. I'll just plaster another little piece on it with the same stuff. Going to try a pic fro my computer. If the pic works, you can notice the spot right on the first vent. Looks like the pic is going to work so I'll add another of it outside.

Default Second picture didn't work.

I guess I need to do my homework on the picture posting. I'll get it eventually.

I went through the photos and comments on photobucket, and it appears that it is just paper anr Urethane. It does look good. Unique look to it. If it holds up over time, thia may be a great option at a lower cost than the replacement dash.
