Thanks

I used superior dash pads out of payne (sp?) ohio. ran about 450 I think and I didn't need to send in a core. seemed like an ok pad, grain was a little off and some of the seems along the dash frame and pad were'nt very crisp. over-all its better than a cracked dash pad and way better than a dash cap. btw, the dash pad between an a/c car and non a/c car is the same.

Mopars 1, did you find a pix? Also, I thought I heard a company called 'ultimate dash' (sp) or something like that has them..IDK. Loooking for the best looking at a fair price. Dont want a cap.

try these,


Ultimate Rides
11640 Gateway East
El Paso, Texas 79927
(877) 327-4723 or (915) 859-5155, Mirna' ext is 302 regardless of which number you call.

Here is the contact information for NicK's Classic Parts,

Nick Sciortino
PO Box 1040
Sahuarita, AZ 85629
Ph. (520) 260-1983
Fax (520) 625-0189
nicksclassicparts@cox.net
Web site

These are 2 different brands.....Nick's in the past has done group buys for moparts. I personally have not seen his but check past post's for comments from people who have purchased. I did see one of Ultimate Rides dashes at Carlisle a few years back, it looked nice however the grain was a little deeper/exagerated than my original, I kinda liked it that way but not exactly original.

good luck

I dont think so...I sent my original to just dashes but it was real pricey..Like over 6 bills..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Don't bother with Just Dashes. Overpriced and the crack will eventually come back. I bought an Ultimate Rides pad and it is really nice and reasonably priced.

They did at one point. But they were a POS. The one they had on display last year @ Carlisle was lifting away at the edges and looked flimsy like it was not a steel core....I think You could buy a vinyl repair kit and make a cracked original look much nicer....
