Who here has replaced their 3rd gen dash pad?  What brand did you go with and are you happy with it?

Thanks

Can't think of any company that makes new dash pads. There are a few that make caps. I've read mixed reviews on them. Good used ones are out there. I just picked up 3 near mint ones. 1 for my 71 Charger 500 and another for a friends cars. Good luck on finding 1.

How much are quality used ones going for?

Don't have any knowledge/info on the ones from Yearone. I would  worry about fit. The dash pad for my buddies car I traded for, the other 2 I had to pay up for them. I would think $ 300 to 500 range for good ones. Other car like Coronets and Satellites have them, Grandma's old car in the garage are some good sources for them.

Hi, One has to ask, what it is that you are after in a good part. Do you want a #10 car, is there a standard that you can not except other than the best?  If you need the best looking dash there is, be ready to pay lots for it. If you have a beer budget like me I did a cap. I've had people, just window shoppers, mind you, they didn't know the difference. But if you are going to try and make $ on this car, the person that buys it will know just what he is paying for. And that is my  :Twocents: No sugar coating here, just the way I read it.

Good News, Just looked on line, came upon a company called
Just Dashes
5941 Lemona Avenue Van Nuys CA 91411. Look them up, they say they have steel cores as well as composite.

DO NOT go with P&G, they will not fit correctly, there is a gap on each end.

Went w/Dantes, two studs were stripped, but I put new ones on and it looks perfect.
