Default Upper Dash Pad 74

Need advice on using aftermarket upper dash pad from someone who has installed them. Need to know the quality of the fit, who to purchase from if they are worth having. Does anyone recommend them? Thanks!

Melo74,

The Upper dash pad we carry will fit your car just fine and it's listed in our forum special section, the link is below. Please keep in mind that we do expect a price increase at the end of the year. We have not been notified which items will change, but we feel pretty sure it will effect most the interior items excluding carpet sets.

On our web site you will also find a set of install instructions that I have done from memory. I tried to include as much info as possible to assist you in the installation, and please remember that I did this out of my head so it may not be exact.

However, if you need help, get stuck or just need to ask a question, feel free to email me at willcoxcustomerservice@willcoxcorvette.c om.

Check out Al Knoch products which I believe are excellent. http://www.alknochinteriors.com/
They'll be at the NCRS show in Kissimmee in late January and they have show discounts.

I have a '74 and I purchased one from Willcox. It was a perfect fit. He seems to have the best prices on these.
