HELP ASAP: Question about Dash Pads

I have a 1991 Z28 that needs a new dash pad and I have found one but it says its for a 82-90. Will it fit in my 91 Z28? I have heard that it will not. PLZ let me know something asap.

Thanks,

Joe

The "new" dash pad for my '92 came from an '85. No problem---BUT---

Isn't there a slight difference in the '82 and '83 pads??

Thanks guys, you answered my question and I went ahead and bought the dash pad. I got a perfect pad for $55.00.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the 82 - 83 or 84 pads aren't as smooth as the 85-92 pads, i think they have a ridge at the corner. I remember seeing one in a junkyard a while ago.
