    Anybody know where I can get the correct color to paint my dash bezel back to its original color...or somebody want to swap for a tan one?

    Looks great Dale
    I know if you take it to a body shop they'll color match it and mix the paint with that kinda silcone like matrial so it feels stock

    Looks great! I was thinking about mounting my Garmin in the same spot as you. Does it work well there? How did you mount it?

    I took the airbag switch out and pushed it into the cavity,then I glued a plastic sheet to the back of the dash cover.Drilled a hole and removed the suction cup and epoxied a bolt to it then bolted to the plastic sheet.and it works great there

    that is exactly where i HAD mine. It looks great and doesnt really block you view. Here is the problem! Over time the truck vibration will weaken the plastic in dash. Mine broke off leaving a quarter size hole in my dash. The chuck of dash that broke off was still attached to the tach. I had the same tach as you. Unless you beef up the mounting point i am affraid you will shed the same fait that my dash did. thats just my 2 cents and story. Good luck! red2k
    just a tow package
