73-80 dash in an 86 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This combination will not work without some tweaking. The 86 Blazer has the wiper switch on the column, not the dash. I can move the Blazer's headlight switch down to accommodate a 73-80 bezel, and fill the hole on the bezel where the wiper switch would be.

My trip to pic-n-pull did not yield a usable 73-80 cluster. I wish people wouldn't go to just break things!

So now I can either keep looking for a 73-80 bezel (i'm not buying one. $100 is TOO much) or drive about 60 miles to get a NOS dash pad for $150.

What do you guys think?
