Dash pad
What company offers the best dash pad? Mine is trashed and I would like to replace it. Classic industries has some for sdale and so does Brothers. Any recommendations?

Re: Dash pad
You can still get a factory dash for a 1980 truck?

Re: Dash pad
I don't know. I know the 81-87 are hit and miss. Call around.

Re: Dash pad
1981-1991 are OEM in our catalog, we also sell the covers.
Avoid LMC, I can sell you the same thing they have for 73-80's cheaper, Dashes Direct, because it is not OEM quality. They aren't listed in the catalog, but they are $220 shipped. I only have about 4 and won't be getting any more of the 73-80 versions. Call Cheyenne Pickup, they had some OEM left a couple months ago, and their reproduction 73-80 is better than any of the ones offered.

Re: Dash pad
Get a GM pad, I see them on eBay all the time (NOS).
Or follow CaptKaos' advice. Those are basically your two options IMO if you want a quality pad.

Cheyenne pickup had some factory ones left from old stock no idea on color or how many, last I talked they had 7. They also reproduce them and they are skinned vinyl not think urethane like Dashes Direct and are the best quality they only deal in chevy trucks. http://www.cheyennepickup.com/

Re: Dash pad
Just my personal opinion, but I would think an original GM dash is better than an aftermarket dash, which is what we have in the catalog, they are dye to match.
We also sell the same thing as LMC for the 81-91 dashes, Dashes Direct, these are actually pretty good. They are $255 Shipped anywhere, we have most of their colors right now, email me at webmaster@73-87chevytrucks.com which what you are looking for.
