I bought a dashmat from Ebay, sold by Dashmats.com. I wasn't too confident that it would actually fit. Well, it came today and it does indeed fit properly. I'm pleasently surprised. I bougt mine in "Dash Blue" and it's a good match for blue trucks.

How long it will last is another story....

nice picture...

only 2272x1704 pixels but great for viewing the quality of the dash mat...thanks...

I had one in mine but someone used duct tape to secure it and it was a real mess when I got it...that and leaves had molded on it from sitting so long...had to go!

It looks like your windshield has a crack in it...mine also...when I get a new gasket, I will put in the good one that took me 8 years to find and when I do, I will make a dash mat out of some smooth material..I'll make a pattern when I do so that it can be duplicated...

Yea, it's cracked. I've got the replacement in the living room and a gasket from Troy of TIR. Now, I just need to take the plunge and put it in.
