The early dashes will fit all years, but the later dashes will not fit the early cars ('70-'71 I think). When they added the vents in the glove box door was made smaller. Therefore the notch on the underside of the dash is not long enough on the later models to accomidate the larger glove box door on the early cars. I hope that made sense.

The '70-71 dashes had three defrost vents on the four cyl. cars. The sixes had two. In '72 side vents were added and lost the center deftost vent.

The "dashes" are all the same if you are only referring to the top cap. The vents change the lower dash or the vinyl piece that covered the area between the dash cap and the windshield (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
