Instrument panel swap question.

What is involved in swapping my 68 model instrument panel over to a similar one from a 70-71?? I know i will have to move the switches but will the printed circut connection be the same?? Thanks

i dont think the printed part will match?

I'm doing the same thing....just get a whole new cluster, and switch the wiring harness

Re: Instrument panel swap question.

Yes, if both clusters are the same (warning lights) or (gauges) the printed curcuit is the same.
The only time you have to reconfigure the wiring is if your going from a warning light cluster to the 7 gauge cluster

Re: Instrument panel swap question.

Yes, they are both gauge dashes. Just thought i had read/heard somewhere that there was some difference in the plug. If not, that is great and I am ready to go. Thanks
