A/C vs. non-A/C Dash Frame
Is the ('70 Duster) dash frame different between A/C and non-A/C cars? I'm inclined to think they are the same. With that being said, I would also assume that the HVAC controls (A/C vs. non-A/C) would also fit into the same size opening. So, if my assumptions are correct, I should be able to take a dash frame from a non-A/C car and install it in an A/C car. Can anyone confirm?
The attached photo is a '70 Duster non-A/C dash frame that will (eventually) replace my A/C equipped '71 Dart GT dash frame. I need to know if the A/C equipped Dart GT's HVAC controls will fit into the '70 Duster non-A/C dash frame.
Also, if someone could give me a measurement of the space available between the HVAC controls and the instrument panel bezel. I plan on relocating my "LIGHTS" switch between those 2 items, and my "WIPERS" sitch will be mounted directly below it between the radio and the instrument panel bezel.
Input welcomed!!!
