desperately need help74 Plymouth valiant

under the dash, out ou the lip are 5 small bolts with nuts that have to be removed,the pad is a formed foam molded around an iron bracket that have the five bolts that go thru the dash, finding a good used one is hard, so take any color you can find and dye it or dig deep and pay about 250- 300 dollars for a new rplacement, oh yeah,there is a screw on each end where it curves down about 2 inches from the end to hold the end down

This man has got it. But there is dash caps (from what I remember is it's name). For around 80$. They are plastic caps that go over the dash pad (foam/fabric/frame) that makes it look nice again for on the cheap. I'm sure if some of my info is wrong another member will fill in.
