Ok guys so looking forward to getting a new dash, mine has cracks that are terrible, hell even large holes lol the bezel is is also severely cracked. .i was planning on taking the whole thing out duct tape it and rhino line it but I'm deciding to just buy all new...so where should I go to buy this? Is lmc best? Also where can I get the red tabs that go behind the radio bezel..

Lmc is your best bet, there are several eBay companies that offer replacement dash pads, but they typically cost the same as lmc but can be sketchy on their credentials. By red tabs, do you mean the metal clips, or actual clip sockets?

Check with Ma Mopar they might be offering these dashes again, from what I have read elsewhere anyway. Under $300 very good Q.

That price is right in the ball park of what everyone else is doing. Buyers choice I guess.
I don't know about the sockets (since they're molded in the dash) however you should be able to obtain clips on eBay relatively cheaply.

Mine in may 94 is toast. My buddy who has restored several trucks recommends LMC. You will have to paint it to match. Be sure to get the spray on adhesion promoter. This is next on my list of things to do.

They only list grey for the 94 and my truck has blue interior. They have several color options for newer trucks. Just my luck. As I am not in a real rush, Im going to check the junk yards and see if I can find a LMC

Keep an eye on Craigslist too, I've seen them on there every once in awhile.
