Dash/Dash Pad???

[Jeebes]

Has anyone just got rid of there dash pad and patched the holes? Or whats the best way to repair a badly weathered dash pad?

Somebody (cu4wheelin maybe) had their dash pad recovered in leather.


But yeah, the holes in the dash are patchable, as the original contoured metal dash is still basically unchanged underneath the dash pad.

I believe it was Sportside Dan who did his dash pad in leather.

If you hand carry the pad into an auto upholstery place shouldn't be too expensive. .Last one I had done a few years ago was $75, done w/vinyl not leather.It's a real easy piece to recover. If I were to do it again I'd buy the material do it myself.

I am planning to use a '60s dash in Levi; no need to worry about the dash pad. Got it free. I figure, why not? lol

I modified the early dash (inspired by a member named Towtruck who did similar) for the SuperChief.

I think somebody removed there pad and put led lights in the holes.

Our dash pad is in really good shape, except it sags in the front so the ash tray on the driver's side won't open. It doesn't easily push out of the way - anyone else have this happen?

Here's mine, sans pad and all smoothed out:

That is very clean.

Nice work.

I like that. What did it look like before you cleaned it up?
