    Walck's Replacement Dash Panel
    $119 plus tax (Mine was $134 shipped to my door)
    Part Number: 689107
    https://walcks4wd.com/dash-board-assembly-1955-1965-cj5-cj6.html

    I'm very pleased with the fitment and quality, especially considering its almost half the price of other dash panels online. No modifications needed, and every bolt hole lined up perfectly. I am very happy with it and figured I'd share my experience here on the forum.

    Also had good luck with his dash. Only problem I ran into was the glove-box door he sells does not line up with the holes designated in his dash. It was off by a good amount. Still a relatively easy fix, the quality of the dash is great I agree.

    Mine did not come with a door for the glove box, I was just going to use my original one since its in good shape. Did you dash come with the door? Maybe I should check the box?

    Any additions will NOT be cut into the dash, rather I'll custom under mount them with brackets.

    I ordered a new door from Walcks at the same time I bought the dash, it didn't come with it. So it was for sure a reproduction part, maybe his dash's fit the OEM parts perfectly. Just make sure to check before painting... That was something I overlooked unfortunately. So the drilling happened after paint... :/

    Good to know! I've been debating whether to repair the big 6x9 speaker hole the PO cut into mine or just replacing the entire panel.
