Where is the cheapest place to get a new dash pad?

 

prolly a junk yard. Do some looking and you can find a good one at the JY.

 

There is not a junk yard within 100 miles that has any 3rd gens around me...And the prices I seen for them on ebay I am thinking I could just get a new one?

 

Put up an ad on the board. There's usually a bunch floating around in great condition.

 

To my knowledge, there is no "new" ones anywhere - that's why the ebay sellers get the prices they do - there's just no option.

There is a seller on ebay that has dashpad covers ... A-1 Auto Parts. I talked to the manufacturer of the cover (A-1 just sells), and they said that it was a permanent cover that would last a lifetime with proper installation. This "cover" goes for about $130 - $150 with shipping. There was a write-up in a car mag where they recovered a 60's Dodge dashpad with one, and they had great review of the product.

Classic Industries sells them new, alittle pricey though. But will last longer than one on ebay for sure

 

You could do a google search for auto recyclers. Once you find a few scrap yards with internet sites, take a look around the site. Many of them have inventory lists that are updated every 24 hours and they are willing to ship worldwide.
