Dash help
Here is the link to the guy I was talking about. His intentions is to make the main dash ( no longer made) for these trucks. My opinion is if the truck is savable and in decent condition. Then why not put some cash into the looks? The cost of new and used trucks are out of this world. The only problem with most gas powered vehicles is they are trying to push them out for the EV future. Anyway, here is the link.

I'm skeptical there will ever be enough demand to make it worthwhile to produce unless something like Dorman can farm it out to China for cheap, in which case it'll fit poorly and be of questionable quality (Dorman's motto essentially)
Every day that passes means more of these trucks that wind up in the scrap yard.
In 60 years will it be like something like a '58 Chevy Apache today where you can source almost everything as a reproduction piece? Probably not, if for no other reason than the EV agenda as mentioned above.
Sorry to be negative, I hope I'm wrong

The dash tops listed for the 2nd gen trucks replace the entire top part of the dash. It isn't just a cover you glue on to what's left of your cracked dash.
Unfortunately, sourcing the lower part of the dash isn't quite as easy.....

Correct but based upon OP's pics it would appear he needs more than that? Would a "dash top" fix his issues?
There is more missing of his dash, than there is that is still there.
I have never seen one that bad.
The lower dash parts are not reproduced so if you need them you have most likely only have one option, Used. I seriously doubt there are any NOS pieces available but it wouldn't hurt to look. Do a web search for the part# you need.

1. Got pics of your project?
2. I've used polyurethane glue before on wood and it expanded. Gorilla glue (did y'all see that girl who put it in her hair?!) Anyway, I've not used the polyurethane caulk but wonder if it will expand, giving you mounds on your dash. You used it before with no problem?
