Default 84 dash not working

Well my dash quit on me and I found a local one forsale on Craigslist but the guy says its out of an 86. He said the 86 is a little smaller but should fit in my 84. Just wanted to know if it would fit for sure before I mad the 45 min trip.

Thanks
Derek

I did not realize there was any difference, take yours out and compare the 2 before you buy. And how do you know the one on CL works?

He is parting out several corvettes and said it was just recently rebuilt. I'll test it before I buy though. I just didn't know if there was a difference and if another year model would fit

I know the dash was changed in 1985 - the numbers were made larger and the colors changed somewhat. I didn't know the actual size was different, however.

In case this helps- top one is 1985-89. Bottom is 1984:
