Default Need a lower dash for a 99 Dodge Ram.

Hi new here! My name is JD. I’ll get straight to

the point. I’m in search of a lower dash for a 99 Dodge ram. I’m not even for sure if that’s what it’s called so I’ll leave a picture for reference. If you have one that you’re willing to sell at a reasonable price please reach out to me. Thanks

What you have looks like it’s in pretty good condition.
Typically by now they’re broken into many pieces.

I had to jigsaw puzzle mine back together with epoxy, then fiberglass the back of it for strength.

I feel your pain. I myself was there and searched for months to settle on a eBay dash that cost me $750. Unless you find a decent donor truck you have 3 options. Buy used from eBay, Fix what you have or a new one that isn't going to be cheap and the guy is still currently working on cad program to reproduce new one. I will supply a link but will warn you ahead of time the are running $1500. I wish you the best. https://www.alldodgetruck.com/produc...n-cummins-dash

Hopefully, someone or some company will start re-producing these with a 3-D printer at reasonable rates sometime in the not-too-distant future.

I know instrument layout and bezels changed, but what changed in '98 vs '94-97 on the piece in question?

That picture I had wasn’t mine just for reference I put it there. So I went to the junkyard and finally found a decent one of course it’s brittle. I’m going to try to use fiberglass to strengthen it up before I put it in. Thanks for that idea. I’m new to the site I’m not sure if I’m replying the right way Lol

Cluster is a slightly different shape. Fog light switch moved, as did a/c vents, and controls. Power port moved. Newer trucks have the passenger air bag switch. Etc. Lots of little differences.
