cfto30570 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 ive got a tan plastic foam dash in our 79 umodel its an old fleet tractor so most of the corners have been damaged by radio boxes cbs handcarts and who knows what else may have caught a ride in the cab i didnt intend to do the interior @ this point but as long as the seats are out to replace a couple weak floor panels and the headliner is down to reweld the wind deflector supports i guess theres no better time to freshen up the inside of the cab can you folks suggest any ideas as to how to get the dash lookin better its has quite a few flaws so im guessin that replacing is the way to go where could i obtain the soft parts to redo this project new / used ? im open to any suggestions check out the easy access hole that they installed on the right side of the floor 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33707-tan-dashes-in-r-u-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 We used acrylic caulk on the soft parts that were cracked and painted over it. Don't know if that will help. And theres a hole on the passenger side floor of my U model too that someone cut.

Maddog13407 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 yup,good thinking Vinny! was thinkin about silicone caulk so it would be flexible but paint doesn't like to stick to it because of the oil in it 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33707-tan-dashes-in-r-u-models/#findComment-219534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I thought paint would stick to acrylic caulk? I think the tough part would be to find a paint that would wear well and not peal.

umodelnut Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 We used vinyl/plastic paint. They make all the Mack colors. Light beige, dark beige and another was sand. Dupli Color if i remember correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33707-tan-dashes-in-r-u-models/#findComment-219681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
