My front dash panel on my 2000 F250 is broken. I need to replace the entire part that holds the radio and vents. No luck so far with junk yards or E-bay

I got mine off of ebay, and other dash parts from a junkyard. You could try ordering the part from a Ford dealership, but you're going to pay handsomely for it.
Were you able to replicate the original texture of the bezel, if so any tips? Thanks for the inspiration to do something similar on my superduty.
I would love to see pictures of the whole construction process. I'm planning on installing carputers into the fleet vehicles with the company i work for. I've sold them on the idea and I figure it'll give me good practice to build my own carputer in my truck.
I couldn't find any way to reliably duplicate the "leather" texture on the dash, so I filled in all of that with primer and textured it to match some of the other plastic pieces that are just uniformly rough all over. None of the surrounding dash pieces were of the same original texture so it looks just fine.
I'd definitely try building your own before making production ones that other people will be using. As for the pictures, I'll look for some but there are lots of construction threads on here that should also be helpful.
Sorry for the gravedig, but very nice install donde. I probably have some questions for you once I get into my build, but for now I just wanted to give props. I love the idea of a screen cover for various reasons, not the least of which is theft.
