Sitting there in your sandals, while I am looking at 8 inches of snow outside my window????? Hhhhmmmm........ Is it banhammer time? 
(just kidding.)
I am surprised that someone is actually making new lower for the 2nd gen dash.... Granted, there IS a market.... My upper dash is cracked pretty good, but, it isn't annoying enough yet for me to spend the money to replace it.
As for the cost..... It's your truck, if it's worth it to YOU, nothing else matters.
I just got the estimate for my van to be repaired. blown headgaskets, on a 197,000 mile motor.... 4500 bucks, for a van I paid 1600 for. That's not gonna happen....... Looking for a replacement vehicle for the wife now.....

Thanks for the info and updates everyone. I replaced the upper dash and bezel several years ago and look forward to the lower dash becoming available. There must be tens of thousands of trucks waiting for this part to become available. The Dodge brothers are rolling in their graves knowing what Chrysler did to their truck and good name. This old girl is my weekend vehicle to haul boats, etc. so still does not have 100,000 miles on it. I have asked DRT Parts to keep me in the loop on production and availability. Will post when/if I hear more.

I called and talked with Ben at the company. I was told they are in the final phases of finishing the mold. After the mold is completed, they are going to do a test fit and when happy start production. I did find a video that showed some of the progress somewhere on the net. I just didn't grab the URL.
Anyhow, I have already made my preorder.

Wussat?
EDIT: If you want to advertise here, become a vendor.
First time I've seen that. Was the post considered an ad? Heck, we all name products & prices here so what's up with this one?
12v, a few months ago you said "I will be reinstalling the old ugly dash until my new lower gets here." Has it arrived? Installed? Pics?
Thanks in advance.
