under the dashpad

I saw a topic just now about a dashpad on e-bay and it reminded me that mine needs to be replaced, but I remember the 66 that I had before this one didn't have one. My question is: If I take my dashpad off can I just have the dash painted when I get the truck painted or does it look different underneath since it came with a dashpad?

The dashs are all the same metal wise, I think the pads are glued on.

Cool. It will come off this weekend. Thanks for the help!

For those of you that have a cracked dash but would like to keep it just recover it. I posted somewhere on here how to recover it . It has been about 2 years now and still looks good to me.

Tell ya the truth, I've had both and I like the bare dash better, makes it more classic looking to me and they're not worth the money to me.

I agree with you on the classic look. Mine is in pretty good shape (to me) and maybe this weekend I can get a pic of it and if anyone wants it they can have it.

Not to brag, but my dash is the shinyest part of the whole truck. It looks like brand new paint after I wiped the dust off of it. It came stock with a bare dash and is sweet.
