Dollars to donuts there's a Wagoneer forum. They'd point you in the right direction for anything you need for it. :)
Jason...does anyone sell a dash overlay?
Found plenty of overlays for it but it's like shopping for a tonneau cover at jcwhitney. I have no idea what would work or fit best.  Another option is to give just dashes a call and see what they would charge to restore my dash. On second thought, I'm going to call Montana overland tomorrow and see where he can steer me for the dash.  I did find a Wagoneer place in Richardson but he does restorations only. He gave the info on Montana overland and that's where I got the one piece of trim that was dinged up.
We've been doing a few dash overlays recently, I hate em. I'm doing a 73 RoadRunner that's stressing me out. We just finished a 93 Dakota that finished nicely. Where it fits near the windshield though, I wanted to use studs for the original dash and to bolt the overlay but couldn't find any. After I finished I found what I could've used at the hardware store. So, now I know!!!!

I saw a picture today of a Wagoneer where the guy just removed the dash pad. Didn't look bad but I would have to find something to fill the holes

I do have 1 thing you might want Jason. How about a set of factory wagon wheels that are 8" wide? :D

Send me a pic Charlie.  The parts Wagoneer has some aluminum wheels but they have brown accents painted on the sides of the spokes and would need some attention. My plan was to blast these steelie's, paint them and put the hubcaps back on unless I like your wheels.

Not the best pic but this should give you some idea of what they look like Jason.

Thanks for the pics Charlie. I think I'll stay with these wheels for now. I have the hubcaps so I'll have a little bit of shine down there.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

The right wheels will liven that thing right up. Every piece of trim, the mirrors and all will make a huge difference. Great colour. A "u" for our Canada brethern!!!!

Friend of mine has a shop in Waco. Jeep body was straight with very little rust and I wasn't after a show car finishHe did fix 3 spots that he didn't like and I had not noticed.  I did the blasting and metal treatment. He had an opening so I took it in. I didn't expect it back so soon either.  Like I said earlier, I am well pleased with the results.
