Brothers trucks 86 c10 dash pad

[naisugai]

So I recently purchased a black vinyl dash pad from brothers trucks website and went to put it in and noticed that there is excess dash material on the sides of the dash. I trimmed just a little and it started to fit better, but stopped at the moment until I can get better feedback on if you guys had the same problem when putting in a new dash. Also, I already threw away my old dash and having nothing to go off of for example for trimming. Would anyone have a pic of the sides of there dash?

I found that putting a dash cap looks good and requires less trimming

I had (and just ordered actually) an OER dash. Same issues, just had to slowly trim the sides until it would go into place. I really liked it though, it looked nice and will never crack.

Thanks for the replies! I will do the same.

The black dash is from my 86 k10. The buckskin dash is an extra one I have from a 77 k5 blazer.

Thanks for the pics! Looks like the sides are trimmed down very short. Its funny if you go to classic trucks website where they did a interior update and you can see on the drivers side where they left the excess and just left it on there. Doesnt look nice.
