I have a 98 dodge ram 1500 like a lot of other people I have a dash that needs to be replaced will someone tell me the best place to get a new dash and how much it will cost thank you

You can try J.C. Whitney.
They have some pretty good stuff.
I used 2 of the dash Replacements for Chevrolet, but Dodge should be just as good.
