If you found a competent body man. You'll be ahead having the existing dash repaired. Will be far cheaper than replacing the dash. But no doubt still kind of pricey. My cab had serious rust issues that were only rectified because my mother passed. She left me a little coin and the wife said that if I wanted to do the truck, now was the time. Had been collecting parts for 20 years HOPING I might one day be able to do the truck right. All the while it was deteriorating in the driveway. Used for menial tasks. The down side is that now that it is done. It no longer qualifies for menial tasks.
