Just buy the 68 repro from PG classics or BEA parts.
Vans should be the same made by PG classics.
This is a BE&A upper pad...original lowers.

That's right.ABC Moparts is the best, but like many you will find out that the material everyone uses comes from China and most places do not have that material in stock right now! Once you narrow your list down to three, contact them and ask what the turn around time is RIGHT NOW, do not listen to others who had their pads done in 2019, the times have changed. Call Bob at ABC Moparts...
That's the thing...pre covid I spoke with Just Dashes, and well....bend over buddy.Yeah, Im in the market as well. Hoping to not spend $700. Might just have to stick vinyl on the old one.
but if you did it twice.....It would work.Good luck.
If I tried that, I already know the results would not be good.

I understand. I was just a thought.I attempted to do that Rusty RatRod but the results I saw were not as good as using the proper method. Just Dashes uses a shrink wrap process that provides a factory look. a little more expensive but I figure I'm looking at the dash probably more than any other part of the car so I wanted it right.
Thanks.

Gorgeous dash!It has been a while since I've used JD so maybe they have changed. We spent 3000.00 have them do a complete 70 Cuda vert interior. Looked good be wouldn't go that route again.
Yes ABC uses an original core and they fit real good. Here is one of his E pads. Grain is real close to correct.

Wow. I didn't know that. I'm wondering if that means the dashes are the same except for branding? Isn't PG more inexpensive then BE&A? ThanksI will only add that BE&A is the US brother of PG Classics, which is Canadian. Not sure if there is cost savings to you. They share the same products.

Does the upper have a metal core or plastic?
Not sure on pricing, but they are identical parts. I believe PG is the parent company. Peter Gee is owner I believe?
Not a parent company. BEA is separate ownership.
BEA has many PG products that are same or similar.
BEA seems to get higher quality and or more accurate parts. For instance many of the BEA lenses have Chrysler part numbers where PG doesn’t. Also BEA part may be painted or detailed more accurate than a PG sold part. BEA also has/had exclusive parts. And the customer service is much better than PG.
Vans, Classic and many other places sell PG parts.
I am speechless, and that doesn't happen often.Easy fix! LOLView attachment 1715844495
Thanks for the links. PG is a pretty reasonable price. Autoxcuda suggested PG dashes earlier in this forum. They might be the way to go. My interior is maroon and their dashes are only offered in a few colors one of which is not maroon. More food for thought thanks!Heres PG 68 dash pad
3888-68 Mopar 1968 A-Body Dash Pad
BE & A don't list 68 specifically and I believe 68 is unique as the top dash pad fits into lower corner dash pad pieces.
