rusted out dash

Post by hillcountryflt »

Pulled the old dash pad off. Expecting things to be OK underneath. Rust all around the driver's side defroster opening. This may force me to consider covering it up with another dash pad down the line, but would really like to keep the dash unpadded (and get a set of three point seat belts). Any suggestions on the best way to repair the dash. Don't seem to see any "repair" panels for this part of the cab.

Tell me more. And tell me how much. Was it difficult to remove.

Windshield of course needs to be out.
Couple bolts on either end, and there's a center support.
Drill out all the spot welds along the front.
If you were close, I'd say come get it. But, $20 for packaging and whatever shipping is and its yours.
I'll get some more pics tomorrow.
