88-94 to 95-98 dash swap worth the effort?

I never met a project I didn’t like
LMC does make a repro dash for that generation now. While not cheap, I've heard good reviews of them so far, and it will be less hassle than a full swap and the cost probably isn't that much different than getting everything needed to complete a swap.

I wonder how much a dash like that would cost. If you could buy one.

WAY MORE than a normal aftermarket like what Nate posted above.
DIY then it’s just labor & a few bucks for material.

I'm not up to doing anything right now. Maybe in a few months.
Just got back.to bed from trying to bait some traps. I've got a long list before messing with the dash would get to the top.
I don't have much luck finding anybody hire for anything simple. Much less something like that.

Yeah- I understand that. My health fight isn’t as rough as yours right now, and I can’t seem to find anyone mechanically inclined unless they are really good and charge way more than I can pay.

Hell, I'm willing to pay shop rate and supply about everything.
Just because everything is blocked up & it easier to do things here.
I have the fan, exhaust and inner fender off the truck.
Need someone to pull the harmonic balancer and verify the Fluidampr I have is correct. I believe the Fluidampr I have is off the 1989 and I was working on the 1994.
The backhoe is blocking everything up and needs the fuel tank changed.
The 5 lawnmower all need something. Kubota needs Serviced and wheel spacers installed, others need brake cables, battery, wheels installed on the snow blower to make it gravel friendly. Deck Float switch on the Toro 328D either cleaned or replaced & main drive belt.
It's going to bemonths yet before I am able to do much.
It's pretty frustrating.
All while we need our house repaired. I had a guy coming to look at that last Friday, but I wasn't up to it & postponed.

Dang man. Be nice if I was closer. I’d jump in and do what I could.
