I have a 99 Dodge Ram pick up and some parts are hard to come by sometimes. You can find dashboard parts like covers and such but the main dash those parts attach to are rare and expensive. As many of these trucks are still driving today, you would think the after market would be there but very little can be found. Dodge knew the dash components plastic was horrible but never addressed it.
I'm in the process of restoring my wife truck and I can see this isn't going to be a easy to find process. Even junk yards in my area either don't have any or what they do have been stripped of most common things to look for. The main dash has broken in a few spot's where you attach the new dash top and bezels to along with some components. I'm looking into maybe some way to make some kind of fiberglass pieces to tie into those missing spots but not sure if it can be done? I will take some pictures in the next few days to show you what I mean. Has anyone ever had to repair their dash to support replacing the top and bezel? I found a lot of interior parts through LMC. My goal is to honor her wish to pass it on to our daughter but I would like to have it completely done right and nice looking. Thanks
