so I was wondering, would it be possible?

new bezels from lmc are like 300 bucks! :893Chainsaw-Smilie-

I dont have a lot of experience with glass so I was not sure. I was thinking it wouldnt be to difficult to lay it on though considering you can lay the flat side down?

someone with glass experience mind commenting?

Ive never worked with glass but, IMO I think you would be happier with a replacement dash from LMC.

Stop shopping at LMC...

It's the SAME exact stuff you buy on eBay, but with sky high prices...

On eBau right now, $109 shipped.

I can't stress it enough, if you're looking for an extra rare part, then LMC is fine...but parts for these trucks are EVERY WHERE at less expensive places. Only use LMC as a last resort.

Im not experienced with fiberglass but you could make a mold of it first then work the fiberglass on the mold
That way if you mess up it wont be on the original.
I was planning on making one out of wood because I have no fiberglass.

can you find any that dont go over the existing bezel though? Thats what I am looking for, a replacement. That one says it installs over the original.
