Dash Pad
I have a 73 Chevy crew cab I have been working on for a while. I have replaced the 73 front clip with an 84. I have installed the silverado interior package from an 87 Suburban.
I am wanting to install an 87 dash pad. I have noticed some slight differences where it clips on. Before I crack the dash pad trying to install it...Has anyone done this and ran into problems? And what did you do to over come this |

Let me get this straight. You want to put a 87 dash pad on a 73 dash. I don't think it will fit. The dash inner structure is alot different in shape. 73 is rounder and the 87 is flat on top and I believe extends farther towards the passenger area.

Actually 73-76? are the same 77-80 are the same. The difference is (hold your hat) the later ones have a window in them for the VIN on the dash. So you would have to cut a window in the older to fit the newer. 81-87 P/U and 88-92 Blazer and suburban are all the same.

I believe if you want to get real picky it is 73-78, 79-80, 81-87.

Yes you can I did it to a '78..... you will need to bend the metal on the passanger side down some and remove a couple of the clips... It worked great.... The screws all worked it fine.... Just take your time and it is not that hard...... I did mine with the windshield in......
