Default Replace right hand dash pad?

Who has removed the bread loaf, and does it look better?

Should I change it?

hated how it stuck out...got tired of people asking what it's for and not having an answer...got a dash pocket from a firebird (one without the bird logo) that is functional for paperwork storage or such and made a replacement....gotta store the orig thing for possible resto some day ...i thought all 'breadboxes' were black?

when you remove the bbox, there is one bolt that you will need to use all your ratchet extensions to get out,way up inside near pass window...once out, it will never go back, at least not in mine---just a clue, you'll know when you get to it now
