instrument cover alternative?

[RockinB]

After 15 years of Florida sun, my dash plastics are giving out, especially the instrument cover. Seems like every time I cross a RR track, I hear another snap. Just got off the phone with Ford parts dept., let's just say I won't be buying their replacement. I haven't found any other source. Anybody have any ideas other than superglue? Anybody fabbed their own?

National Parts Depot
LMC Truck
and others has them. Google the names and you'll find all you need.

Thanks for the references. Although NPDs nice price is ~$100.00 over what I think it's worth. Guess I'll be doing a little custom fab work.

i actually just ordered on from fords part dpt, and i just got it today i have yet to install it, but with taxes it came to 62.31 for the clear instrument cover, the old one cracked when i was installing my white face gauges. and that was for a 92.

Salvage yard dude. All I can say. Or post a wanted in the marketplace. People are stripping these trucks constantly.
