The console should bolt in palce of your F.B. console.It probably wont mesh well with the dash though.Since the F.B. is a 2 piece console(radio)Your a/c heater control head will also require a little finess to work on the camaro console.Trimming is probably in order.Camaro consoles are wider too.

oh well then im just gonna let it all go to shredder then, not gonna waste any of my time with anything in this camaro thats not correct stock factory for 82 83 84 FB

thats all i want for the 82 is correct fit factory stuff, for interior and body

i should have assumed that the dash by radio and hvac controls differed since everythnig else inside seems to from maro to FB

well at least the maro seats will work in my t/a

so thats cool i guess, didnt totally lose out i guess,.






thanks

The 82 Firebird console was all one piece like the Camaros. It still differes slightly though.

the maro one differs too much to use in FB apparently, to scrap it goes, im not wasting time removing it

the maro si out herem, runs drives great its a fast damn car for a 2.8 i tell ya, trhat 3.42 helps it alot

the car is pretty its sad to cut it up but oh well,

hopefully i can get started on it in a couple hours after i get back from springfield


thanks

It's basically a one piece box-style, like the Camaros had. There's no separate pod for the radio.
