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.

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

Re: Early to later?
wont work, 1975 dash wont have a vin opening since they were on cab/door striker area....your 84 vin would be covered up
