replacement dash

i'm about to go under the dash to fix the air conditioning in my truck and the dash it cracked in 5 or 6 different places, so i'm going to replace that while its off. i cant seem to find a dash from anyone other than the dealership and its $335, so has anyone replaced their dash, and know where i can get one priced reasonably?? all i can find are dash covers. thanks for the help. Pete

what year is your truck. i got mine from the dealership and it was $150 as well. first they tried to sell me the whole dash, when all i needed was the top piece, which is what sounds like they quoted you.

Part number for mine was 5GK45RC8AB I/PANEL . My color is light or medium gray. From previous posts it seems the dark gray is more expensive.

Go to the Cover lay web site and you will see why it was 125.00. When I said cover it is a molded plastic cover that matches the OEM perfectly. Most can't tell it is even on the dash. Don't knock what you have not seen.

although it will match perfectly, if it was mine i would know that it was there and what was under it. almost like painting over rust with new paint
