Upper Dash Nowhere on Earth

I have been looking for an upper dash piece for about two weeks and I have come to the conclusion that they are gone. I have not had any luck at four different junk yards and whenever I do find one online I always come to find out they no longer have them or they do not ship them because the crack to often.

Anyone have any ideas?

I was in your same position about a year ago. I called all around, and found nothing. Then, I went to a local wrecker, and found one in an 86 bird that had been sitting in the sun for a few years. Amazing it hadn't cracked by then. Just keep looking, you'll find one sooner or later.

Up here in MI, they do not seem to crack like down south of MI. I have seen plenty of good ones. The problem I find is on the driver side the corner seems to break up.

ALSO try Classic Industres.

<FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Tahoma"><font color="#000000"><font size=2>Hey Steve:
I had the same problem also. I found a real nice one on EBay. I looked for ya' and found one you might be interested in. GM dicontinued them about a year ago and they were around $300.00. The current bid on this one is $66.00. Here's the link:
