I used 3M maroon pads to do my 96 ranger and to this day it has held up to years of abuse from countless desert trips.


the interior was light gray before i did this.

I finally just removed the dash and replaced it with a fiberglass one so i could install gauges hooked up to real senders not switches like all ford trucks :/

One more picture cuz i want to show off my baby!
That dash is pretty damn sweet.

your truck looks great! there is someone wanting to live a shortbed f150 ext cab and i was unsure how a 6" would look and it looks a 100 X's better than i would have imagined. i like it alot!
