1998 astro wood gauge cluster trim

Post by niagaradood »

I was digging around good old ebay a few weeks ago and came across an awesome looking wood trim that went around the instrument cluster. didn't have the cash to order, so I waited. stupid me, didn't bother to watch it so I could go back and order it. now it's long gone. I've seen it as a full wood trim package, but I'm not interested in paying $150 for a wood trim kit that I probably won't even use. anyone seen anything like I've described? if you know where I can get one, please let me know.. I seen it, I liked it, I wanted it, now that I have the money, I can't find it.. lol

google is a pita.. went looking around for the trim part I want, but only found one, and it was only available as an option part ($69 just for the option..) ONLY if you buy the complete 42 piece wood trim kit for $300+.. all I want is the cheap piece of trim that I saw on ebay.. lol I did spot the piece I need in a link I found in one of the forums..
this van was really dressed, had wood everywhere.. if you can look past the steering wheel, you can see a similar part to what I'm looking for.. btw, the van that has the part is on dealer's lot somewhere in the UK.. lol
so if anyone knows where I can get just that trim piece, (an please, no smarta55 replies about going to the UK to buy THAT van.. lol) send me a note..

Unless you find a conversion van in the junk yard I think your sol. I have never seen the wood trim on a normal van. I am sure you don't need to fly to England to buy the van for the right price I am sure they would ship it to you. :poke:
