Actually, the dashboard top is integrated into the entire dash. You'll have to take the complete dash off to separate the "top" from the instrument cluster assembly... you'll be better off to just get an entire dash assembly from a junk yard and replace it. The dash doesn't come out easily, but it CAN be removed and requires disconnecting a fair number of electical, cable and vacuum lines, including the complete wiring harness and the steering wheel. Good luck!

www.lmctrucks.com has replacement tops for Dodge dashboards, I think they go over the top of your existing dashboard. I don't know if they have one for your truck, but you can check them out.
