ok, at high speeds my dash shakes

it seems at about 85-90mph my dash will start to shake pretty violoently, my steel wheel usually just vibrates and thats fine, but my dash really bothers me. does anyone else have this problem and do you know what i could do to resolve it?

Engine: 5.7 / 7.4
Transmission: 6sp / TH350
Axle/Gears: 3.55 posi / 3.23
how are the following:
alignment
tire balance
shocks/struts
strut mounts
bushingsany of these can cause vibrations.

If they're all good, chck the bolt/screws holding your dash down.

If those are good, maybe some bondoglass or jb weld between the A pillars & dash to seal it up

There is a pretty good chance that you just need to balance your tires... You might want to rotate them as well...
