There is only one manufacturer that I am aware of "Dashes Direct". If you find out differently let us know...

All the vendors sell Dashes Direct dash pads that I know of....50Resto, JohnsMustang, Texas Mustang, etc.

Is that the company that has the original ford tooling? I'm vaguely thinking I remember reading one saying that a long time ago in an ad.

Yes. But just because it says "Ford Tooling" doesn't mean that the same time/effort/materials were used in the same manufacuring process that Ford used. For the repro dash pads, they are very different from the originals even thought they are "made with Ford Tooling".

yes, if you are a stickler, be weary of the 'made from ford tooling' that you now see plastered all over ebay while searching for NOS parts.

I have learned the hard way that nothing beats original OEM fit and finish. Although many others might not be so picky.

check ebay, there are always decent quality original dash pad for sale. A little dye to your interior color, and it will look as good as new.
