can i put a 68 dash pad on a 67 camaro? i like the way the dash raps around the dash instead of the straight 67 dash but i dont know if the dimensions are the same?

well, i know i hate it when that happens, so I searched for you but I also did not find much of anything to answer your question (normally, when someone says to do a search they will link to a search or a thread)

I found thread that does not really address your question but from what I think it says the dashes are too different and you cannot easily install a 68 dash pad on your 67

maybe someone will reply with a better answer that I could offer

I don't know first hand but the '68 pad has "legs" that run down the front sides of the dash and snaps into holes in the dash. The '67 pad does not have these "legs". It likely would not look right if it did fit. A '67 pad would probably be fine on a '68 but not the other way around. Good luck.

I dont think it would work. They should be the same dimensions but there will be no area to clip the side parts that come down on a 68 pad. I think the 68 dash has spots where the pad is clipped down on the sides.
