I want to say thanks to u guys for all of the input. thank u. I would still like to look into having repo of these dashes just use a better material. Im in the process of repairing my dash myself we shall see what happens. Im still open for more input & thoughts.
what if these dashes could be repo? would any one be interested in one?

I would. I'm not sure it would be a big money maker for ya, but I would like one for my truck.

 

Don't know how helpful this will be but there are a variety of places offering dash rebuilding and covering services.
Just Dashes will take your old dash and strip it down, building from the frame. Expensive.
The Miami Corp and Mill Supply offer covers that go over your existing dash. Cheap but permanent. Possibly obnoxious depending on application.
I have installed one from Miami in a med duty ford. It fit great, but installation required using adhesive (I used silicone) to secure it to the dash. In this particular truck it looked great, but it was a work truck with many hours.
Call some body shops, you may find a local supplier and avoid some or all of the shipping costs. I think shipping for that cover was around $50.

If your not in a big hurry for it I know where there are 4 trucks the guy has just for the motor. I can check them out next time I am that way and see what kinda shape they are in.
