Dashpad for a '67-'68 B-body Olds
Anyone know where I can find one? It can be from a "67-'68 Olds Delta 88, Delmont 88, DeltaCustom, or 98. I really need a black one but may cosider other colors. It needs to be perfect, no cracks, and plieable. Thanks, Philip

Good used or a recover by one of the companies like Just Dashes are your only options.

I hope I can find a good used one, as I've heard good and bad news about Just Dashes. Has anyone here used them? It's kind of hard to swallow what I'm sure will be 1000 plus dollars to get one done and not being sure of the end result. I've heard they vacuum form over the old, cracked vinyl. Is this true? Would there be an extra "layer" where things wouldn't fit as they should? Please tell me I am mis-informed!

I used them to recover all four door arm rests for a 65' Delta 88. Not cheap, but I was very pleased with the service and quality. They are a good option for interior parts that are not reproduced. The odds of finding a 40 plus year old dash pad for a 68' in good shape are not high.

I have found a few of the dashes online, it's just that they are always in a parts car and nobody seems to want to pull one out to sell. I actually found a '68 98 on here that I considered buying for parts, dash was perfect, but it was too original and decent to take apart. I think if I can't find a cheap parts car with a good dash I'll try Just Dashes.

We have been looking for a 66 dashpad for our Dynamic 88 for 6 months, no luck so far. Has anyone tried to repair theirs with that foam product like I saw at (http://gtam.silvahalo.com/dashrepair...riginal.html)?
