Daily Update:
I decided it would be a good idea to actually test fit the parts before I attempted to paint and install them. Glad I did!
I don't have any pictures of it yet but in the area where the cluster goes there is a small metal bracket. On the new
dash this was missing and I didn't...
Thanks Red! :D its always nice to get reassurment from other people. Sometimes I second guess myself thinking Im not doing somthing the right way.

Re: Dash install/removal **Update**
Ok so here is the short version of a long story. I wasn't going to have time to go to Sherwin Williams today
so i decided to call them. The guy I talked to didn't have a clue what SEM was (Go Figure). He gave me the
number to the automotive store in Fort...
ok so i called around and no one here local has SEM. So I'm going to have to order it online question is which ones do i need? There are like 4 differnt grays....

I clean the evap core and stuff that was in the motor case a few weeks ago. Sorry I for got to mention that.

I had a 93 that i put a stereo in that i got the new bezel kit for. A friends dad gave me some dye paint to use that matched the grey perfectly. I think it had the GM stamp on it.
Think the krylon will be more durable? Should i go ahead and do all my plastic?

Well my original plan was to paint the new dash anyway since it has some black showing were the dye rubbed off.
I was worried about the prep work messing up the textured surface which i want to keep. What would the best way to do that be?

Hey Bernie, since you essentialy have the same truck as me. Is there anything I should do while I have the dash out? Ac blower resister has been replaced already and I found a bad ground for the blower fan I need to fix. What else should I do?
Yea Bernie it is. I know first hand. Luckily i don't drive it everyday to work anymore so i can in a sense take my time with it.

My dad 3500 obs has that dash. I like it. Also upon looking at the ac duct work the new one seems to have slightly larger ports and more baffles in the center part. Which i guess is to have less chop in the air that comes out.
