Replacing dash pad
« on: March 17, 2011, 07:47:36 pm »
Found a new in box dash pad for the 77 on CraigsList for $100. Box was opened and he lost instruction sheet.  Figure someone here has done this and can give me tips/tricks.  Thanks in advance for all the help!

If it's a GM dash pad I doubt it came with instructions. Remove the dash bezel, unhook the AC duct behind the glove box (if equipped) remove the screws on the pad and the screw when you open the door on the side. Then lift up and towards you. It's easy

I have the old one off.  Do i need to strip the old one off the frame and glue new one to it?

Thanks!  You won't believe the next CL score i found.  3 OEM/NOS fenders, 2 OEM/NOS inners, and a OEM/NOS hood for $500.  All still in the original boxes. I love CL!
