Bought mine at the Car and Truck shop. Best price for an OE style dash pad.
Haven’t fit it up permanently yet but a quick fit it appears to fit well and the quality looks on par with OE.
Iirc, it was around $50 cheaper than the competition.

I got mine from Classic Industries,not too bad, had to do a little trimming. Cheyenne Pickup parts.com also has them,claim not to have to trim or modify. I think they are bit spendy though. But ya get what ya pay for

Thanks, I'm going to look at all of these including a couple of sources mentioned here that I wasn't aware of. I have a Corvette restoration friend that I hope will help me with the dash pad once I decide which one to go with. Thanks again!

Got mine at lmc, It fits badly on the drivers side corner around the dash bezel. For what I paid I am not happy, but living with it.

Glad I'm not the only one. Does yours sit flat? I think one of my clips isn't clipping....

I got mine from USA1 and its excellent quality - even came with the vents, trim panel and dash emblem. As far behind and back ordered as they are, it still only took about a month or so to get.
agree with above - I have heard that their quality is top notch... just a very long shipping time frame, I am surprised that the above got it soo quickly. when the time comes I will order mine from USA-1.

Hardware thru LMC. But, get your old one rewrapped. Runs about $250 and you keep original dash, just made new again.

Classic Industries has the best price $299 but I can’t speak to their Quality. I’ve bought a few Quality pads from Cheyenne Truck Parts but they’re currently out of stock.

My lmc issue was that the pad was just too damn short. No matter how you fit the thing you came up short in length. I settled on the best fit of all the trys, which left the gap on the drivers side around the dash bezel. By the time I realized we were fooked, the new monkey at the shop had allready ditched my original that I was willing to pay to have redone. Oh well, spilt milk at this point. It is on a list of things to do over when the supply chain and or quality goes back up.

I need one also. Doesn't sound promising to find a decent one. Tossed the old one. It really surprises [or disappoints] me that parts can't be reproduced correctly. All they have to do is copy an original.

I know the Mustang folks would give a small fortune for a correct appearing pad, not to mention antenna, hood trim or door panels.

bE SURE YOU ORDER THE CORRECT YEAR PAD ..
pREV OWNER OF MY TRUCK PUT A 1979-78 PAD IN MY 79 IT LOOKS GREAT BUT THE LITTLE WINDOW THAT SHOWS THE VIN IS NOT THERE AS THE DASH VIN DID NOT START TILL 1979.
i HAVE HAD TO LIFT MY DASH PAD FOR THE pd TWO TIMES SO THEY COULD VERIFY THE VIN DID EXIST.
aLTHOUGH THE VIN ALSO APPEARD ON THE DOOR STICKER BUT THE pd SAID i MIGHT HAVE CHANGED THE DOORS .
