LMC truck website has a pdf download catalog. Look at prices and part numbers.

your year dash covers 1982-1985. Oh, Welcome to S10V8.com :icon_wave:

Ditto and Ditto.

LMC Truck has about the best prices for Interior parts, and '82-'85 are very near identical.

You could go with an '86-'91 dash with some modifications, but you would want to have the entire truck to remove it yourself, so you know where things go. And the wiring will be slightly different as well.

If you have the ability, you could even modify a 2nd gen ('92-'97?) dash to fit, but it would be substantially more work.

Your third option is a totally custom deal, fiberglass or sheetmetal.

And, Welcome :icon_wave:

I bought some parts from BLAZR72, he has a donor and may be able to help you out.

By the way welcome to the site.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I don't want to start a new one either. You mentioned fabricating out of sheet metal. Thats my plan ('91 S10) but before I rip the dash out (its also my daily driver right now...) I was wondering if anyone had the measurements I could use to fab up the framework? I kind of want it to be a narrow as possible but still be able to fit everything behind it I need. Also, Im not sure what to do about the steering column. Right now its kind of part of the dash, is it anchored or braced by the dash anyway, or is it possible to fab one that sits above the steering column? Any ideas for me?

leebert, the steering column has it's own bracket that you can leave when you do a sheetmetal dash. you can kinda see it in this pic
