Re: 73-80 vs 81-87 interior differences

I recently replaced the dash pad on my '79 Chevy with a dash pad from 80s+ GMC. It was in better shape and had the longer edge on the passenger side so you can actually put stuff on your dash.

Anyway, point being: the hole for the VIN does not align the same (it's off sideways about half an inch I think). Not sure if this because of the year difference or the Chevy/GMC difference, but it's there. And one of the holes to screw into the metal dash is misaligned as well (near the VIN hole of course).
