really whats the differences between 82 83 84 bird dash pads and the 85 up ones

is there any way to get an 85-up one to work on an 82 83 84 without major parts swapping

got pics?


thanks

 

The difference is cosmetic, they will bolt right in, I had an 87 dash pad in my 83 for a while.

The 82-84 have two lines molded into the front for looks, the later ones are smooth.

 

I should also point out that the earlier of the two with the lines molded in are much harder to find in good condition.

 

as far as fitting the dash pads are the same, i put an 88 dash pad in an 82, then an 85, without any problems

 

right

but anyone knows that much :P

ive only ever come across one, in an 84 s/e i cut up

i shoulda kep the pad instead of sellin it,

it was mint, as was the entire interior of the car, absolutely was in brand new factory pristine condition


gone


hum

crazy

such is life

that is why I am hanging onto one I have that is P E R F E C T, In case I need to replace the one on the Formula at a later date.

And like has already been stated, they will all interchange perfectly, 82-84 Just had the cosmetic lines, that's it.

 

apologies.

I think prudent posting on both our parts is neccessary here.

 

i appreciate the info but you dont have to be a jackass too

you didnt have to reply in the fashion that you just did

if you were paying attention then you would see that this tread was started before the other one,,


and i was needing to find out ASAP and i mean quick like, as i am trying to buy one from a guy with a later car


but, noooooooooooooooo........................


sigh,

i have my reasons for wat i do, please dont be another jackass second guesser know it all personality type


we are just all here to learn and help and enjoy the cars



thanks

 

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I tend to ramble or leave out pertinent information.
Yes, it will bolt right in, I’ve done it.
