I have a new project truck. Its a 1987 V3500. I am doing an almost total restoration and I am already going to replace the gauges, bezel and dash pad no matter what.
My question is can I buy the 73-80 components (bezel, pad, and gauges) and bolt them into the the 87 dash subframe with minimal issues?
I like the flatter look of the earlier dash and since Im already replacing everything either way, I would rather have the early dash.
