LMC Dash Pad Supplier

I'm probably in the minority here, but I much prefer a a factory dash pad with a few cracks in it than a new aftermarket pad with a wavey top. To me, sub-OE fitment and quality looks just as bad as cracks.

If I was building a show truck, I'd probably go with NOS or Just Dashes.

I remember finding decent square body dash pads in the wrecking yards, back in the day....if we had money extra, after getting what we needed for our trucks in that trip, we'd get them and resell them at the swap meets. But that was 20-25 years ago, when square body trucks weren't as Hip and Desirable, and they were still in the yards....

Yeah, 15+ years ago, you could still find really nice factory dash pads. Many of them were actually recently replaced factory dash pads. Basically "nos", but significantly cheaper. I remember paying only $125 for a show condition dash pad and Cheyenne door panels for my '77 K5.

Unfortunately I am building a show truck. Finding a show quality dash pad seems akin to finding a Unicorn though.

Well, if it's a show truck, I've seen NOS pads go for almost $2k. Gotta throw down if you want that quality as they won't get cheaper from here on out...

If you want a different color than black for the AMD pad, can you dye it another color, or does that not work with black? My original GMC dash pad is a real dark brown that coordinates with the lighter colors on the saddle tan interior. I’d like to go original color if it’s possible

While the interior/vinylu paint stuff works prettty good. It’s counterproductive to make a new show quality piece immediately less durable or long lasting.
Be like buying a new car deciding it’s the wrong color and krylon paintimg it a different color imo.
