Hey all,
Just picked up a steal of a GWAG. (Aren't they all?)

The top of the dash is cracked pretty bad and I'd like to swap it out for another. Has anyone done this? what other years have Dashes that will fit? Failing that, aree there any recommended after market dash manufacturers?

Hope someone can help.

Craig, is it just the dash pad being cracked that you're concerned about?
If so why don't you just get it recovered at an auto upholstery shop? Not too expensive if you carry it in. This way you only need to pull and re-install your windshield rather than having to at least pull the one out of a donor rig too.

Or if like to do a little wiring and maybe a little mods to the steering column (or a column change) any year will fit.

Actually the dash board is pretty good, but the dash pad looks like it was baked along with the thanksgiving-day turkey. You know, cracks from the vents all the way across. Not really a functional problem, but aesthetically, its really an eyesore in an otherwise really nice interior.
