My craigslist score........maybe

[45acpJr]

So I was going thru auto parts and came across an OEM dash that has never been installed. I got so excited that I didn't do my homework. Turns out this is for the 81-87 models. Has anyone installed this dash on a 73-80? It seems to be close to fitting I didn't put much effort into it yet. All in all not too bad for $100

I`d say that is a good score for a $100, not sure about fitment though.

The dash isn't the same. I remember noticing the different metal dashes 80 and down and 81 and up.

But great score

It's not the saem but it can be made to fit.
The cab is the same so the difference is in the metal under the dash.
I have one from an 81 if you want it, just pay shipping and $25

I installed a newer style dash pad like that on my 75. No big differences,you will need to drill holes for the two additional screws on both ends.
