Re: Early to later?
Yes the dash will fit. you will also need the Gauge bezel from the 70's. The newer bezels stick out to far.

Re: Early to later?
Unless you just really like the look of the earlier dash I would look around for the right one. There are a lot of people looking for nice early dashes and it would probably be worth selling and buying the correct one for your truck

Re: Early to later?
It won't match your door panels very well. I agree, sell it and buy an 81+ pad

Re: Early to later?
an early pad 78 and a later dash 88 left a funny gap at the top
i run a 89 pad with a 78 dash ,fits great i did put my 88 pad loose in the 79 and the "tan" was very close in colour
