For some reason, 77 seems to be on its own, it is always listed for 71-76 and 77 separate, don't know the the difference, but why don't you just buy one for the 77.

Both the left and right front dash pieces are unique to 77 because of the center gauge bezel. The 76 and earlier cars used the diecast metal bezel that mates to the dash differently than the 77 plastic bezel.
