Supper99-Might want to consider auxilliary heat as opposed to dropping dash due to well known problems resulting in cracked/broken Dodge dashes. My 2000 360 gasser had a perfect dash with no cracking at all, until I LOOSENED (manually) first bolt in 1 of 4 brackets at base of windshield to drop dash for heater recore. Dash literally exploded into pieces small enough that the whole thing now fits in a large shoe box. Substrate also brittle to the point that switch mountings etc. are mostly gone. Substrate only available as part of complete dash assembly, not available aftermarket. Not worth fixing, as any at salvage yards are same or worse. Now have truck that runs very well, with only 116k miles on it, but is worth 0. Went from a viable truck to a pile of junk over a $100 replacement part. Dodge is very aware of the problems with the plastic in these truck dashes, but chooses to ignore them. Sorry for long post, but had I been aware of the potential repercussions of this fix, I would have lived with it. YMMV.
