Wanted Dash Plastic Lens '87 K10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1987 blues · 09-27-2003, 05:03 PM

tHIS IS THE PLASTIC LENS THAT FITS BETWEN behing THE INSTRUMENT BESEL AND the lens retainer.
Would like one in brand new conditions. If it has scratches they need to be very small, almost invisible.

The one I have on , has scratches and since I am restoring I need one better than the one I have.
I am sure there is one out there somewhere.

thanks

Have you tried 3M plastic polish? I used that on mine, and it looks almost brand new!

I never thought of that!!! I think I will try it!! where can I get it?
A car part store? etc./...
Let me know if you can. I will pick one up after work.
Mine needs a bit of worl. I have a few highly noticeable scratches. Hope they come out.

thanks again ..

thanks again. I will pick one up tomorrow at lunch and then work on it . Let's see what happens. I am now in the proces of painting my dash bezel and panel. So far, so good. I am really happy with the results so far.

Take care and thanks for your time.

Their number is 1-800-222-5664 or on line at www.LMCtruck.com

they are listed on page 50 of their 2003 fall edition catalog for 1973-87 trucks.
Just in case you are looking to buy a new one.
