I just spoke with Willcox, they told me to just specify that it was 1977 blue. I just ordered a complete carpet set and an upper dash pad.

Thanks guys

If the dash color is significantly different from what you have now (fading of your parts, etc.), all is not lost. You can have some vinyl dye mixed up to match you old parts and re-spray the new one to match. Since the upper dash pad is new and uninstalled, that correction would be really easy. {Simpler than swapping dash pads; much simpler than re-dyeing all of your existing parts to match the new pad.}
