I put one on my dash. It was made by accu-form plastics. It's fit and looks ok and it looks better than the cracked up original covering, but I'm not really happy with it. I will be replacing it with a new dash pad when I'm finished buying new go-fast parts for the drivetrain.

There are quite a few manufacturers out there.  I helped Year One find a new distributor when I bought one from them last year and it was junk.
Here are a few.

I don't remember off hand which one we ended up using, but I couldn't find any of them that the 3-speaker dash with a/c, which is what I needed and bought for my last Challenger. 

Good luck,

I bought one from copper234 or something like that on Ebay.

It passes for my heap.  The 70 will get a full dash.

I think there are only 2 manufacturers for this, Accuform and Palco.

I put a Palco on mine, for less that $100, I'm very happy.
