Wondering if I could get some feedback on the correct Dash Top for all years KG.
I have been through the 21 pages of the Idiots Guide to Interiors, lots of pictures but no real discussion on correct dash tops. I have looked at several Vendors and there are differences between them. I brought this topic up because a Client asked me for a Dash top for 68-69 but it has large cut out air vents - just like 72-74???. Any help would be appreciated so that we can get some concensus on what is correct, by date would be good.
We make the 59-60 Ribbed dash top for both LH and RHD
The Plastic Speaker Grill is sold for 56-65; that should read 55-65?
The Grab handle is Aluminum for 56-60, Plastic for 61-67 and cast indent 68-74
Its the size of the air vent that I find hard to determine especially around 68-71 as I have found Vendors with small slits and even cutouts like 71-74, Pictures are not always reliable.

I just went through this. 68-69 has 6” vents 70 has 7”, 71-74 the big vents. Dashes direct makes a correct size vents dash pad, Airhead suggest using a 68-69 dash and trimming the vents or leave it be and cover up the extra inch.
I bought the dashes direct one which is floppy urethane I think but at least it fits right on my 70.
