Where to buy repo or OE dash pad and plastic bezel?

epinkston · January 2nd, 2012, 07:06 PM

I am changing the interior color from saddle to black and need a new dash pad. Also the dash plastic bezel that holds the gauges and switches is all cracked and has to be replaced. Does anyone know where to locate them or is this a junkyard/private party only purchase?

Thanks,
Eric

What year?
If the dash pad is not cracked you can repaint it with SEM products they work great, use the search a lot of posts will come up.

If you have a '70-'72, I have some good dash pads & the plastic parts as well.
Thanks.

Get nice clean used parts - as clean and nice as you can afford. Dashpads and dash plastic bezels aren't repro'd (and you probably wouldn't want them if they were).

You can have dashpads re-covered but it's VERY expensive (+ shipping a large oversized box both ways) and the results can be less than desirable.

Scott ("Oldspackrat" who posted above) is great to deal with.
