Default 97+ DashPad

Anyone know of a company that has 97+ Dashpads still in stock? I spent 4hours and 10 emails looking. None have them in stock or no longer carry them. I know Gm Discontinued them (But hey you can still get 93-96 from GM) At any rate. I dont want to buy some cheep *** plastic cap and I have looked and searched and after getting ripped off on ebay I am starting to lose hope. If I find one, I am going to have it wrapped.



PS No I cant fix the old one, its broken beyond repair and a couple pieces vanished.

Have you tried GM Parts Direct.com as that is where I got mine last year. Pretty pricey (250+) but worth it.

Now you know how us LT1 owners feel all the time. Usually it's the LS1 whipper-snappers that get all the goodies, and no one has any more love for old granddaddy LT1 that started it all.

For those of you that need the part numbers and where to find the dash pad or CRASH PAD as GMPARTSDIRECT.com calls them here you go:

If it's a 95 or 96 T/A then the part is #10274437 and here is an illustration (it's #3 called a CRASH PAD). Under the Instrument Panel/Instrument Panel section of the catalog.



If it's 97 then the part is #10422746 here is the illustration for this one:

I bet if an after-market made an attractive replacement, that was more durable, it could make a killing.

I purchased a GM replacement a few years ago for $220 (2006 I think) and it started to peel like a bad sun burn this year - looked worse than cracking. Anyway, I decided to give Coverlay a try and ordered their cheaper replacement. It is black, same finish, and fits on top with silicone. I was thinking it would look bad and an obvious cover, but it actually looks really good. The center section has a dark mesh too. It was $107 on bay plus shipping. I can't attest to how long it will last, but supposedely it is UV treated yada yada....we'll see. I'll post a photo a little later....

Are you talking about the piece between the dash and the windshield or the dash itself? I just pulled an entire dash today and what a PITA! I think its almost worth living with it cracked. I know the piece between the windshield and the dash was available a few months ago from GM but I am not sure about now.

What is the difference between a LT1 and LS1 one?
