Right side dash pad differences
Does anyone know the difference in the right side lower dash pads? There is a different parts number for many of the years but I cant see a difference.

I think there are differences in the curvature, and and shape/length in the bottom lower corner where the dash pad mates up with the shifter console and the gauge cluster as well.
Differences in the stitching too???

68 are one year only; 69-77 are essentially the same with the possible exception of fake stitching along the top. If the console has the fake stitching, the dash pads will have it.

Here's a few pics showing the differences.
Besides no stitching vs. stitching, also where the pad & shifter console align (shape) by the radio are different.
Hope this helps.

Just so you know 77s have a unique right and left dash. both sides are different because they meet up with a plastic center bezel instead of a pot metal one. So if you are replacing dash pieces in your 77, you can only buy 77 pieces
