Dash questions

[wmoguy]

My 94 I just noticed feels like the passenger side of the dash is loose, and likely missing some fasteners. You don't notice it until you go over a decent little bump, and then you can watch the passenger side drop maybe a 1/2" or so. It seems abnormal.

Anyway hoping to save a little time in this hot **** 104 degree heat and ask the "crew" where I should start looking for missing fasteners? Anyone have pics of how this dash secures to the body they can post? This is on a 94 crew cab.

Thx!

two part epoxy works wonders on cracked areas of the dash, just do it on the back side where it isnt noticeable

There is a tiny, worthless little nub of plastic that holds that whole corner of the dash up...

This is supposedly a fix for it... I have yet to order it, but I plan on it (as I have the wobbly dash syndrome as well)

i wonder if that is something freeboard can build and make available to us? i didn't see a pic but it cant be that complicated

I bought a L bracket about 2in long per side and attached it to the cab and dash under where it broke. Been great since!
