Metal dash frames

Thomas Dennis · Sep 28, 2020

Are the metal dash frames the same between the Dusters, Valiants, and Swingers. Reason I ask is because the metal dash frame is hacked up around the radio area on my 75 Duster and was wondering if the dashes from these other cars will work. This way I won't have to limit my search to just the Dusters Thanks

Different years, Dodge's and Plymouth's, different models. You would need year and model specific to replace.

The standard gauge frames are pretty much the same for 70-76 Duster and 72-76 Dart. Frames with the wood grain panels will have holes for such. Main difference is the heater control. 73-up is different than 72-older.
71-older Dart are different.
Rallye frames are a different animal all together.
Post a pic of yours and I can see if I have one.

My 72 Dart had the wood grain which I decided I didn't want so I use a standard plain jane frame from a 71 Duster to achieve my goal.
You'll need a 73-up frame.
