I’ve missed seeing a conversation about interchange &installation of l of my Plymouth barracuda dashss(67&68)in 67-68 darts
It’s a pretty big undertaking mostly because besides 55 year old chrome plastic there’s still wiper switch and gauge considerations
Because shipping can be such a huge expense the interchange needs to be seriously addressed

Bear this in mind. 68 is an odd year, "I believe." So far as I know the VIN in 68 is ONLY on the dash. If you pull/ change/ swap the dash you have just lost the VIN for that car. Even if not, you will upset the DMV gods

But it's hard to say--are you talking about the dash frame or the CLUSTER?

VIN is riveted on and the rosette rivets are available
 
Thanks for this info
I don’t know if a 68 gts had rallye gauges
I know an Mcode didn’t
If dashs weren’t to be exchanged all vehicles with a compromised dash frames would be unrestored
It sounds like I’m best to mock it up or just sell these dash frames and not worry about the electrical components
I’m only going to work on l(hemi clone)
