Dash Pad

What other third generation F bodies (Camaros and Firebirds) will have dash pads that are exactly the same as the one in my 1989 Iroc Z?

Dashpads are identical in all Camaros of all years. Firebirds' are identical to Firebirds. Both are interchangable.

Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 82 & I do believe 83 there were some ribbing on the Dash pads. They no longer make these so its almost impossible to Totally restore a 82 Camaro to its Org. Condition.

camaros have a notch in the middle under the lip for the air vents to fit in there

firebirds arel the same across

in case that makes no sense this is the lower edge of the dash pad if it was installed


camaro

bird dash pads are 2 inches to short in the middle and about 1 inch on the ends they wil not fit a camaro dash period!!!!
I know I have a pad won't fit a camaro and so the difference is the vent cut outs as mentioned, an inch or more al the way across to short this figure from windsheild to the end of the dash pad were the ac vents is, the fiebird have removeable speaker griles camaros don't, and the bird pad also has a cut out in very back of it in the right side w/ camaros don't have.
