Just thinking, can you replace a firebird dash with a camaro dash, gauges and all.

Yes,, but it would have to be the entire dash/console setup & a small bit of wire rigging.

You probably would not need to rig anything. As long as you get the same year car with the same engine/trans combo.

I had an 83 camaro car with an 87 T/A dash.
