Folks,
I wrote this article which also appeared in Military Vehicles magazine.
To my knowedge this dash pad was never discontinued as I have always been
able to buy them from Chevy. I haven't checked on the price lately but up
until about a year ago they were $183 body shop price. I will check on this
Monday and give you the heads up. The article was worth reading if you are
restoring a CUCV and the info was valuable too about the tail light lens
screws. Julian Burke
