WTB metal lower dash frame.

[klinton994]

I am interested in a lower dash assembly. Something that hasn't been drilled or cut, and isn't rusty. Ideally one with all the plastic clips and routing pieces for the wiring.

I've seen a couple on CL for $50-$60 , but the sellers don't want to ship.

What year do you need (71/early 72 - no belt light above glovebox, or 72/73 with belt light)?   Also standard or deluxe (with or without holes in glovebox)?  Is there a specific color you are looking for?  I have some on my ebay store and others out back still in cars.

I should have a 71.  Am out of town currently, will get you pictures next week.  Do you need Deluxe or Standard and is there a certain color you would prefer?

 

[klinton994]

My interior is the standard type.  My interior color is black.

Thank you

I have two on the shelf currently.   The first one is fairly rusty on the backside, but the second one is in nicer shape.  Here are pictures of them.  First picture is the first dash, the other pictures are of the better one.

I'm interested in the good one Mike. I've seen them on CL from $60.00 on up.   What do you want for yours?  I know the shipping is going to kill me. LOL

Thanks for following up on this.

Your price is $40 plus shipping.  Shoot me your zip code and let me see what the cost is to get it to you.  

 

[klinton994]

Great! My zip is 94945 . 

My intention is to construct a new dash assembly and wiring, then swap it out with my existing dash assembly.

Is the condition of this dash such that a cleaning and paint would restore it? 
 

If you feel you have a dash in better condition, regardless of color, please let me know. 

Would you have a glove box door and hinge assembly?

Thanks,

Clinton

You probably do not want to spend the money to set up a tank but this is what I did for a dash. I have a 275 gallon molasses tank that I de rust parts in. You mix feed grade liquid molasses with 9 parts water so 5 gallons of molasses gets you 50 gallons of solution. There are three or four mild acids in molasses that will remove rust but not paint or chrome. It will eat aluminum and zinc up so do not put them in. Cost is around $20.00 for 5 gallons at feed store. I got the bulk container of craigslist for I think $40.00. I keep something in there all the time due to change out got the new molasses but I cannot lift the container to put in.
Remember when you do paint the dash you need to keep bare places for any grounds that hook up or nothing will work.

 

[klinton994]

Thank you. I think I may opt to have it sand blasted and powder coated. I'll be sure to have bare metal at the points where grounds attach.

Cleaning and painting would restore this one, but you will have to sand the front if you want the paint to adhere.  Light surface rust on the back side as they did not prime the backs.  Glove box door/hinge is $10, so tptal of $50 for the complete dash and shipping to your location is $88.33 via Fedex.
