Mike411 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 New to here, trying to get the dash part to replace the top section to recover it. I have no idea where to start. Also if anyone knows of where to get a new one. Quote Link to comment
Datsun Dude Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Do you have any of the existing dash? Can you take a photo of what you have? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 There was an earlier posting by a member who actually recovered his dash top in leather. It looked so good he went ahead and covered the instrument "binacle" in leather also. Maybe this would be a sucessful "Search" effort? Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment
Mike411 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's all there but the top is all cracked. I'll take some more pics tonight. Quote Link to comment

Swedishcadillac Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 There's actually 4 or 6 wingnuts that attach the whole entire dash to the firewall. Besides wiring, It's pretty simple to remove. With the –dash removed, you can access the bolts for the dash pad very easily. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mike411 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 It probably will just have figure out how to get the stock shape agian most of the foam that was under there is gone.got the dash off lastnight. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Go to the "Interior" section and open the item on leather wrapped dash! It's in Los Angeles but the price was great! A 720 truck, but the pix will show you what can be done. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'm the one Mike was talking about. If you look at my build thread you can see the dash restore I did. 1 Quote Link to comment
