Re: Can I ?
I believe so....the only difference I know of is AC vs non-ac dash

Re: Can I ?
Thanks Geoff , they are both non a/c . Now I need to find someone trust-worthy enough to switch them out for me .

Re: Can I ?
....why don't you cut it along the dash pad area, and weld it into yours??
The pad will cover the welds, so no worries if you can't weld like me

Re: Can I ?
check out this thread....it has a picture showing where to make the cut.....I think this is an excellent spot to practice welding cuz you can cover it up after you're done

Re: Can I ?
Just went out and looked at the un-cut dash , what happens when you get to the last holes on each end ? Continue straight across , up , down ?

Re: Can I ?
well....I'm not sure....I'll have to look when I get home....isn't it bolted to the kick panel??.....look up under the dash and see if you can unbolt and pull off after making that cut

Re: Can I ?
I see now ! I'm a little slow sometimes . lol You continue the same line till you get to the end . I did'nt think the dash pad went all the way over & tuck down by the windshield post . Thanks for all your help Geoff . I think I'll give it a try when I get to that point .
