Dash pad
I’ve got an 87 Diesel pup that I just dearly love! It’s in such mint condition. My only gripe or regret about the whole thing is the dash pad. I am and have been looking for the holy grail for a long time and I have yet to find a usable dash pad for my truck. While looking at a picture of a trooper I got an idea. Has anyone tried to change the dash in a pup and use/graft a different Isuzu dash from another vehicle?

Brian, I'm moving this. We don't have a category that fits exactly, but I'll get it a little closer anyway.

Re: Dash pad
I've sometimes wondered the same thing, by the way. In my "dream" it includes the steering wheel, turn signal, wiper switch, instrument cluster, etc. Mine is definitely a dash with a double-DIN head unit.

Re: Dash pad
The original poster was referring to the original molded "pad" that covers the dashboard.diceman469 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 7:01 pmI bought a dash pad from rock Auto

Yours is apparently one that covers the original. But it's good to know that those are still available, too. What's it made of?

Re: Dash pad
I'm not sure, feels sort of like suede.
