i need a dash cover. does anyone make these?

any idea on how to fix one? its split and cracked up in one place. i would like a fitted cover for it,but have not been able to find one on the web,

 

where do you find tail light lenses for these trucks?

 

Yeah...I can't find any for my '75. Definitely can use a back-up light cover for passenger side. broken with half missing.

Can't find almost anything for it.

 

same here,pasenger side with half missing.

maybe i can get something from the trailer shop ,cut a patch out of it and glue it together.

there are no bone yards around here.
i bet theres one with my name on it in the woods some where with a tree growing through it.

 

Have you guys tried this place...

yeah, there are alot of hilux guys who have popped up the past few months. alot of us are parts horders. i am. i have spare misc crap all over. only tails i have are tinted super black. i should snag some of the stuff off a 78 at the yard by my house. maybe tomorrow i will.

 

Can someone post up a pic?

I am putting an offer in for a '75 today so I might be lucky and have some misc. spares...


Cheers,

 

california mini truck wants 150 bucks for a tail light. i am not ready for that.

a 500 dollar truck is not getting a 150 dollar tail light.

 

Yeah California Mini is a DAMN Ripoff.. And they Dont have stuff for the Early hiluxs and stouts... And By Chance they Do ..They Charge you up the ACE!!
Best bet is to wander the yards.
Or try Toyota salvage parts in AZ.

 

i have a line on a pair of mint tail lights....for a 73, will those work?

 

i dont know if the 73 will work the cab is different,but the bed looks about the same from the sides,i aint seen a shot from the rear. might work,could be close enough if i could get the whole thing and bolt them in there.

i am thinking about these and to hell with the reverse light.

Check eBay. Replacements or originals are on there all the time.

 

ebay

 

There are plenty here in Thailand 500 Thai baht a pair About 17 USD.

Plus a lot of other stuff. [email protected]

 

i figured out a while back how to find them on ebay.

you have to search for the term "RN10"

 

I don't think out dash pad issue is solved though. I have a '71 RN12 and I need a dash pad too.

 

i gave up on that . but i fixed mine up real good with fiber hair bondo,plastic primer/and plasticote spray can bed liner, came out and smooth and shinny. works great looks great, only about 20 bucks to do.

a RN10 is the same as a RN12 as far as the parts i have seen for it goes.

my truck is a RN12 also. but theres more **** out there listed for RN10

 

You need to cast that dash cover and build some dash caps!

 

yea there seems to be a need for them

i couldn't get the damn thing out of the truck.i had to do the repair inframe as it is.

and after the plasti-cote spray bed liner dryed i sprayed car interior paint on it satin black.

you should do it.
just rip out all that crusty stuff where the speaker hole is, then reach under the dash and cover the slits it the metal dash frame for the speaker hole, with masking tape so the bondo don't ooze through and spread in in there.

and i did not like them fender blinkers . just JB weld some beer can under the fender and smear goop in them holes to. looks way cooler,kind of looks like a old little BMW in the front. without them damn back hoe tail lights on the front fenders
