Quick question Are all Baywindow dashes the same? Can you use a late Bay dash in a early Bay? Thanks in advance!!

only with lots of modification and hacking around the steering area. The column and attachment methods are different there.

Pacific NW is a good area to look for dashes. They get less sunlight there so many have survived compared to the drier desert area buses where the bodies survive with little rust but the interiors are shot.

The ventilation levers, cables and defrost vents are also different.

What are the different eras for a dash variation?
I'd like to replace the dash on my '68 Westy. Which years would be a good fit?

Thx
