Default dash issues

I have posted this earlier but not sure it is in the right spot. I have what seems to be a very common problem with my dash disintegrating. some of the frame work is even breaking out and some of the switches and controls are just hanging. I would sure like to fix this as cheap as possible. do I just have to search th junk yards to find what I need or is there some repair method for this?

The subframe inner dash can crack and break apart as well as the outer dash cover. Unfortunately, nobody makes this replacement. You'll have to find a good one at a junk yard or get good plastic glue. For the outer dash, the only real replacement worth buying is the LMC brand.

I’ve not long ago finished rebuilding my dash... it like most had some external cracks, but when I took it out to rebuild the HVAC box it disintegrated.
I jigsaw puzzled the subframe back together, and installed a new LMC over the top.
Search for my posts in the “What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?” thread, you’ll see plenty of pictures and notes of what I did.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
