My dad and I have used this truck for a long tiime (and still do) to tow his boat and go fishing, or do yard work. Either way it is in a location where it usaually sits in the sun for hours on end.

I would've painted my stock dash if that's all it needed, but due to the climate it's been exposed to, the stock interior is not only faded, but the sun has dried out and craked alot of the plastic.

For this reason, I was considering something other than stock and a little more performance looking beings how tha truck still ahs a lot of life left in it.

As for aluminum getting hot, I don't spend a lot of time with my hands on the dash to know that.
As you probably know the mid-sized trucks of the late eighties weren't know for their luxiouios interiors, so something boxed and flat would probably not only look good, but come pretty close to stock.

I haven't read your e-mail yet, because my computers being gay right now and needs a restart, so I'll read it in a couple minutes and see what you had to say, if you didn't post already by then. Thanks for the input.
