5Toyota Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 some auto parts stores sell custem made cloth dash covers I have had one in my 88 4wd for about 10 years still looks great. note I said custem made ordered to fit each rig. finding a good dash in a yard would be next to impossible.

linda s Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It can be repaired but kind of a big job. Fill cracks with this http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Bondo-1-oz-epoxy-flexible-bumper-repair-compound/_/N-25na?itemIdentifier=69590_0_0_ Repaint with this http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=SEM-Marine-Vinyl-Coat-Spray&i=787765&r=view Easier if you can remove the dash Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Toyota Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 78 dash as I remember not very hard to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 http://www.justdashes.com/dash_resto.html These guys can do it. They probably charge more than he paid for his whole camper. 79 isn't a padded dash is it? Stuff I posted only works for hard plastic ones. Padded is a whole different story.

Derek up North Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They list Toyota P/U 79-88. But I didn't notice any prices listed. Not a 'good' sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The classic case of how bad do you want it. But all it takes is a phone call to find out the $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I know in my case a nice dash mat would suffice. Chances are that IF I spent large amounts of cash to get it replaced 'properly', I'd probably buy a dash mat to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MischaT Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Oops... I meant a 1977 camper. Pretty sure the Toyota truck is a 1976 since the camper says it was manufactured in February of '77. Anyway, here is a picture of the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MischaT Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 It does come off pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It does come off pretty easily. That dash is pretty cracked up and these products aren't cheap but this looks like a possibility. Good pics of repairing too Linda S http://www.urethanesupply.com/Repair-Cracked-Dashboard/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
