Best repop 79-80 dash pad ?

Who sells the best repop dash pad for the 79-80 trucks ? I have read that the LMC pads are not very good. I see that Ecklers, USA1, Classic Industries, etc. sells them. Has anyone had good results from a certain vendor or is all of them made by the same company and distributed thru the various vendors ?

I could use a medium blue one.

I haven't gotten one myself from here, but I here nothing but good things. It's about the 4th one down on the list.

Re: Best repop 79-80 dash pad ?

Thanks for the responses guys. Has anyone bought one of these dash pads from Dashes Direct or Cheyenne Pickup Parts ? If so what are your thoughts ?

It looks like I would have to paint or dye either one of these as I need the pad to be a medium blue color.

I bought one from LMC, it was a dashes direct model, the quality is pretty good, fit is decent but not perfect. I guess it depends on what your expectations are. NOS dashes are EXPENSIVE.

I'm also looking for a new one to go in my '79. Any luck with the ones Summit Racing sells?

Heres the correct answer. Chris will hook you up with a premium quality replacement pad at a fair price.

Anybody use the coverlay covers? Have one on my Jeep and while it's not perfect it wasn't bad for the price.
