drill out the vin p[late rivets and reinstall later.

So, are all of the 68 - 70 dashes the same except for the vin plates? Would any late model dash be appropriate for my 70 SRL?

Thanks,

David

Yup, and they can do any mods you want.

Cool. I just want to make sure I can get my 70 SRL car # back on the new dash. Car is matching numbers.

I've read the process on this post. How do I actually get this going?

Also, I contacted Just Dashes last week, and they quoted me $1,800 and 4 to 5 months. Does that sound right?

The 68 dash is different than the 69/70 dash in the area of the "B" light.

Stan

I didn't know that. What's the difference?

It certainly complicates the idea of pay it forward donor dash unless there is a spare 1970 out there.

Yes, Stan is correct. I found out that the "B" light sockets are different, as one is fixed to the dash and the bezel is removable, the other is a socket that is similar to the other dash bulb sockets, the wiring for the "B" light is different too. One uses the dash for a ground and the other has two wires going to the socket so must be grounded at a common harness ground. Which type are which years? I can not remember since it was many years ago, I just remember their differences. The 68 jockey box liners were also different than ones in the 69-70 dash.

Thanks for the information.

Hi. Just following up on last conversation about the 68 dash being different than the 69/70.

I think I heard that the B light bezels and light are different, but is the dash itself different? OR same dash, just different bezzle and light fit in same hole?

What I mean is, are all the dashes the same, but you need to use the correct year B light and bezzle, so any late model dash year will work for any other late model, OR, OR, OR, are the 69/70 dashes actually different from the 68 dash? If different, we would need to differentiate for this program.

I am very much interested for my 70 SRL dash.

Can anyone answer this very specific question?

Thanks,
David

I have a 68 SPL311 dash I was going to have done. This program still going?

Yes, it is. This is what I was quoted about a month ago (I'm not going to do it for quite a while, but wanted to see costs):

Here is an approximate cost of your restoration (1970 2000):
$1,800 Molded Dash (w/Clock in Center) and Glove Box Door
$280 Radio Box 2 Piece
$750 Console & Lid (Send all metal trim pcs for fit and possible detail)
ADD $150-200 Detail metal trim pcs for console
