Title: Billet Interior Trim
Post by: 69byrd on December 20, 2008, 09:24:03 pm: I was wondering if the right dash trim off of a 77 would fit my 84. I know there is some difference in the dashes but this trim looks like it would fit both dashes.

I was debating on buying a billeted one after refurbishing the used dash I bought off of Ebay. However in the end, I just did a little extra detailing of the original one. If you look carefully, you can see that the trim actually curves at the end to fit the contours of the dash.

Good luck!

There is However a similar piece for the later dash design though, so I would contact whoever you found that dash piece, and just ask them if they carry or can get ahold of the one you really want.....

Great Looking Dash BTW GB 8) Wouldn't mind updating my interior to the newer panels.... ;D

Another suggestion, if your supplier doesn't stock the right one then try searching on this site or look on Ebay.

Good luck.

I'm sure they are readily available through any of the Larger Well Stocked Aftermarket Suppliers

Post by: 69byrd on December 21, 2008, 02:36:50 pm: I didn't see them in the online catalog. I am not really ready for one but I thought if I could get the one I found on ebay cheap I would get it. It didnt work out, it wouldn't fit and it sold for $51 including shipping. That was more than I would have paid anyway, when the new ones aren't much higher.
