This might not be exiting to all but for the past 4+ years a comination of silicone caulk and duct have done one hell of a job holding my dash bezel together and on the dash. Just could never justify the $195 price tag due other things being maintained. I got nice bonus check for job in Maryland and pulled the trigger. My view will be forever changed.

Now the rest of your truck is going to be jealous and want a face lift.

 

Don't forget to put the felt isolators on.

 

From whom did you procure it?

I thought it was pretty obvious my self, but my age still gets me too. Forgot about the gelt pads. Did not get any of those. Think i still have them on the old one. If not i can felt.

Congrads... It will make you feel better driving down the road looking at a full dash bezel and not a broken one.

Mine was actually loosing small pieces driving down the road. I had silicone smeared over all the cracks on the backside holding it together. After a year or so of that if touched it a piece would fall off. It will be nice not looking at the duct tape holding it on any more.

 I think it might go faster now. 20 hp out of the pedal pads and maybe 10 more now.

Whooo who!!!!

Congrats, I just put a toggle switch for my ac on/off in one of previous holes right next to vent switch knob and mine is about ready to fall apart. Now if I got a new one I'm not sure where to put my toggle switch for ac :think: maybe on top of the dash it reinforced with resin and mash :whistle:

When I added my tranny temp gauge I got a 3 gauge mount for the dash. Sits right in the center against the windshield. I ran the wires to all of them around the dash and along the bottom of the windshield. The dash pad was new and I could not bring myself to drill a hole in it until I knew for sure I would like the gauges there. That was some years ago and I like the location. Still cant bring myself to drill a hole in dash pad though.

Sure looks better on the truck than on the box.

Had to use the zip tie until I got to the store for better screws for the column trim. 

Nice! Was the fitment good? I need one too, but doubt the oem is any better now than it was in '01.

It fit good. Snapped right in. The only thing is if you look where it meets the dash pad just above the HVAC control the reveal is slightly larger. Dont know whether it is the pad or bezel, one is slightly off. Me, I dont care, I love it.

Speedometer is looking good.

@dripley is it broken? Or are you coasting at 120+ with the truck off? :lmao:

Told yall it would make faster. 120 in the driveway aint bad.

 

I could not put the new in with out cleaning the rest of it. Blows my mind how much dirt can get in the speedo.

It went to 0 when started the truck.

It must be his transmission that shifts sideways that gains and extra gear maybe, lol my shifter knob is not perfectly level ether.

Nice!!! I've been looking for a vendor to purchase replacement bezel and the dash pad, Thanks for the share, now I can get the bezel and new radio, my bezel is so worn out, I know it will fall to pieces soon as I try to pull it off.

Got the gauge pod from Vulcan with a 3 gauge package. I already had the a pillar pods so thought i would try something different. I like the location and the gauges are easy to read.

My dash pad came from LMC also, replaced it about 5 years ago. Good fit and looks also. It is a bit more involved to replace. I would also recomend while you have the dash out to pull your HVAC box and replace the heater core and evaporator. Clean it all up and replace the foam gaskets. All that might seem like alot work but it is well worth it.
