The pumpkin is a 1970 with the center defrost vent. How the heck do you get it out?
Do I have to take the blower box out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  |

I'll be interested in the answer to this one...I have the replacement for my old crumbly center defrost vent...looks like dash frame out to get to the two nuts that secure it. Studs are cast into the vent piece.

There are two screws ( 1 on each end ) that hold it in that are accessed from below

The screws are under the dash buck. You could remove all that to get to them...
Or you could smash it with a pry bar, like me and make a cover plate to rivet on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Reviving and old thread:
To get to the screws, does one access them from the interior of the car? Does something need to be removed to get to them? I looked and looked and couldn't find the screw heads. Thanks! |

Are we sure his car was a '70? Mine does not have a center vent, only the 2 elongated ones right at the bottom of the windshield.

Yes, as far as i can tell all '70 /4 had that center vent. My /4 is a late '70 (#12181 out of 13312) and it had it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I took the whole dash out to redo the top and front, so it was easy. |
