Is there a difference between years for the dashpad? Will a 75 fit in a 70 car without modification? Thanks, mark

If you are talking about the dash with the ash tray part they are different. The glove box relief on the 70-72(maybe to 71) is larger and your glove box will not open all the way with a 73 and later dash.
I've got a nicely recoverd '73 dash and I did not use it in my '70 car because of the glove box reilief. |

I'm talking about the large vinyl covered foam pad that covers the top of the dash, not the actual metal dash. |

If you look at the area where the glovebox is there is a relief in the pad to allow the glovebox door to swing up. Early to late are different size reliefs. |
