Default Upper Dash Pad 1977 vs 1976

What's the difference in Upper Dash Pads between a 1976 and a 1977?

I have a 1977 finishing full restoration. I decided I preferred the 1976 center console. I can see where the center console and LH/RH dash pads are different--so I ordered those. But as far as I can tell from pics, the Upper Dash Pad is the same as on the '76 as the '77.

The Upper Dash Pad I have was replaced right before restoration, so I hate to buy another if I don't have to--this project already made my wallet scream like a stuck pig.

Almost ready for paint. I liked the '74 rear bumper best because I feel it has a smoother look without the fake bumperettes.

Its not the same but it's close. Can you use it in your car??? You sure can.

The difference is a row of stitching across the top of the dash and that's about it. The 1977 pad is smooth.
