dash cluster ?

Do all of the dash cluster rear pans interchange? will the late bezel (81-87) fit a 73-80 rear pan? Jay

Re: dash cluster ?

If your talking about the greenish plastic that the gauges bolt to, yes they are interchangable with the 81 and up.

Re: dash cluster ?

as long as you use gauges with gauges and dummy lights with dummy lights.... the dummy light ones have cylinders molded in to shroud the lights and the gauge ones are all open and backlit

Re: dash cluster ?

Don't forge the wiring change from amp gauge to volt gauge and mechanical oil pressure to electric oil pressure if you have them. The volt gauge swap will cause an ugly mess if hooked up to stock amp gauge wiring.

Re: dash cluster ?

Yeah 1977 was the last year for the mechanical oil gauge. 1978 and up are electric.
