Dagnabit told me about this place and ordered a dash pad for a 1979 Urethane cover. The fit was nice and was shipped rather quickly but the blue was a little different then the door panels. The vinyl one might have been a better color but I am pleased with it, fitment and all. It is strange though if you check back at different times of the day the price will go down. They do come with a lifetime warranty and you cant beat that for the price.
Your extended cab truck is awesome

I would recommend USA1 Industries. They are the only place that has them built over a metal frame, which is like the stock dash.
All the other places built them over a urethane frame, which can cause warping.
Now I have seen the USA1 Dash installed in my friends truck. Very well made and fit great. I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference between it and a stock dash.
Now I have also seen “several” dashes from the other vendors, the ones that are built over the urethane frame. Every one of them had warped in less than 6 months. And when I say “warped”, they looked like a roller coaster.
