1977 Chevy K10 dash
« on: October 22, 2018, 08:45:18 pm »
will a 1985 GMC suburban dash pad fit correctly into a 1977 Chevy K10 pickup?
I found one of the same color as my 77 in the junkyard and its in very good shape, no cracks at all. I am keeping the 77 bezel just replacing my cracked and faded dash pad.

I think they changed after '81. Brothers Trucks is a good resource to check.

To check for what?

The 81 up dash pad will not fit correctly without retrofitting to the 81-up style bezel and gauges. Not only that but 73-78 is a league of its own whereas the 79 and forward have the vin window. If I were you I would look for a period correct dash pad. This website offers your dash pad new http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=7&Product_Code=D100173-013&Category_Code=DC

some if not most states have laws about covering the vin, like vile said the 73-78 will be illegal unless you cut a window to see the vin. once had a cop give me a hard time because my dash mat had slid over and obstructed some of my vin

Actually he would have a vin window unnecessarily with that dash pad.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
