Will 90 firebird dash pad fit 89 camaro

Before anyone says it, i did do a search and came up empty, but i know this has been asked before. I realize that the pads are different due to the heater vents in the center, what i want to know is will a bird dashpad fit in a camaro? The only reason i ask is because there is a mint firebird dash pad out of a 90 or 91 firebird at my local junkyard. I have two camaros, and 89 and a 92. both need pads. I am just wondering if it will fit in there.

for what this is worth.I recently tried ta put a almost mint dash pad from an 88 on my 90 R/S and learned where the entire dash's are interchangeable the pads themselves wern't.Measure front to windshield and then across door to door and then make note of any potential subtle differances.It's the subtle things that screw up the look.And ya can always pick it up and trade or sell it to get what ya want.Don't think this realy answers yer question but hope it helps some.

There are at least 50 pages of this same question. ALL 82-92 CAMARO DASH PADS WILL FIT ALL 82-92 CAMAROS, ALL 82-92 PONTIAC DASH PADS WILL FIT ALL 82-92 PONTIACS. The pads are not interchangable between Chevy and Pontiac, they will fit but not correctly.

Hate to disagree there duke.But the 88 camaro dash pad i bought sure DID NOT fit my 90 camaro dash board.Not even close.It was too short from the widnshield to the steering wheel.About 1 or 2 inchs too short.Now if I had done the whole dash then it would have fit fine.Shoot I'll even break out the tape measure and camera and photograph the measurements on my 90 camaro R/S dash pad.If I had pulled it forward the defroster vents would have been covered and there would have been a big gap at the windshield or If I had pushed it to the windshield there was a big gap at the front of the dash and it would not have screwed down also would cover my right and left door window defroster vents.
Realy upset me because it was a sweet dashpad much better condition than mine.
