What's the best source for a quality 69-70 B-Body dash pad? Steel core and original style vinyl.

I know... a stupid kind of question when a simple search turns up a variety. Was hoping to lean on someones experience as the offerings seem to differ a lot in manufacture, cover and frame material, quality and on.

Any insight would be appreciated

Thanks!

I have not found any that have same grain and texture as original. ABC Moparts is likely your best option. They use original cores for their parts.

I've seen some grains that are accurate, but unfortunately don't recall whose product.
Something else I've noticed is that some repro pads are narrower than the OEM pads, leaving a gap at the A-pillar moldings that looks horrible.

take this with a grain of salt, as this is my experience with an A-body reproduction dash pad bought from classic industries for a 73 dart sport.
it looked good out of the box, but fit horrible !
all kinds of tweeking, twisting, clamping and cussing later, and it looked "acceptable" to the guy that owned the car, but i didn't like it.
i don't know who makes these for classic, [nor if it even applies to their B-body pads] but it was a steel frame pad.
just my experience, nothing more implied.
your mileage will vary.

^^^ Oh yeah...
A few months ago, I bought a spendy metal-backed repro pad for my K10 because its pad is utterly fragged.
You'd think that if anything would fit & be right, it would be a $500+ pad for something GM.
Not even close, couldn't get it to fit all all decently, gave up after a full day of wrestling/trimming/trying to get clips to fit, etc.
It IS a more complex deal than a '68-'70 B-body, or A-body, but be sure they have a decent return policy just in case.
After that cluster**** was over, it cost me about $100 to learn that even GM stuff can be off by a bunch.

If at all possible, a mint original OEM pad is the way to go; I sold a couple '69-'70 B upper pads last year for $250 each, so they're out there...

This and that the "angle" of the pad ends does not match OE. With this, the A pillar moldings don't fit well.

For a driver the repro will get you by. Beyond that, get a restored one from ABC.

What about Just Dashes re doing an original frame ?

I ended up going with a pad from Dante's, PN: DMPS9659 for my 69 Roadrunner. I had originally bought an pad off ebay, which fit poorly among other issues. Here's a video I made where I show the issues with the crappy pad vs Dante's pad.
