Hi Guys,
I have been looking around for a lower dash panel for my 2001 1500 Sport. I’ve already replaced the upper dash years ago, but then my heater core took a crap. I just bypassed it and went on with my life because it’s not that cold around here, but I’m starting to really wish I had defrost in our humid Texas winters though...
So, of course, this brings me to the paradox of dealing with brittle plastic. I know as soon as I take the lower dash apart it will likely be total trash. It has already started to break a little in some places. Does anyone know of a source for NOS parts for these? I’ve searched the internet and found people on forums making mention of buying them back in 2015-2016, but nothing more recent than that. Part number was 5FR41LAZAE. I don’t mind spending the money. I bought this truck new 20 years ago, and I want to keep it for life.
I have no interest in buying a used part, as it’ll likely be in nearly the same condition. I checked out Geno’s in hopes they might have something, but it looks like they have every other part except for that. Does someone know a place that still has any? Crazy to think that all of these trucks could eventually just be useless for lack of this one part being available.
