Just got off the phone with LMC.. They say dash is in stock and will be here in NC 3-5 business days...

 

THREE DAYS!! New dash is here. WOOOHOOO....guess I will be busy this weekend...Pictures will follow...hopefully the dash is as GREAT as the service...

 

ups just called to schedule a delivery for friday, to bad it is my weekend to work

 

LMC is saying that they are out. Autobody sent a replacement for the one that didn't fit. They were going to test fit it before sending. We'll see. I'd like it to work.

 

what color did you try to get mine is brown and they had it i expect it tommorow at the p.d.

 

I have gray and it took 3 days to get to NC..

 

mine just showed up looks great

 

install is done looks great fits almost perfect and color is real close (it is molded in black and painted) I left out all the defroster screws and they are still tight to the dash I think they are more for assembly line to hold it all together but i will save them incase i ever need to remove the entire dash from the truck will try to post pics later

took less then 1 hour

 

Just installed the LMC dash. It was a perfect fit. Set the tag and even attached the air ducts before installing dash.

I will be ordering the bezel from LMC soon. Next on the list is lift pump and fuel gauge.

 

Did you just tilt the dash forward to install the LMC part? I called last week. They are still out of stock and expect to be out for 8-9 weeks.

Autobody sent me another dash. They were going to trial fit it before sending. I intend to install tomorrow & will report back.

Something was holding the passenger airbag out on the previous Autobody dash. I never did resolve that issue. Hopefully, this will go smoothly. Comments on your install appreciated.

 

I tilted he dash completely forward (with steering wheel and seat in place) I had to angle the replacement dash to get the air ducts in past the dash support.
It is slightly darker, but the original lower dash is 13 years old and faded-still beats the black duct tape that was holding plastic chunks in place.

 

i had to rush to get it in before work, how do the vents come out of the dash? were you able to slide the top on or did you need to dissasemble the dash more?

after a wipe down with son of a gun the dash matches the airbag ( not shown in my pics)

 

my old dash had a spot for the vin plate but there was no plate, after i removed the old dash I found the vin plate was attatched to the steel the dash bolts to and the "vin opening" on the windshield is just in the wrong spot

 

Tom, looks like you have a sunglasses cavity just like mine! I like the picture of the old dash. Hey, got an idea. Why don't we all send our old dash pieces back to Dodge!! I'd pay $12 for a flat rate box from the USPS to Dodge to let them dispose of it!!!

 

You're probably laughing, but I saved my old dash pieces just for this purpose. I know it won't amount to anything but it'll make me feel better.
