Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash pics?

I don’t think 1968 ever had the vent balls in the dash to begin with and the 1969 type are not being reproduced. It is possible that the 1966-67 bezels can be made to work, but you’d have to so a lot of cutting (including cutting the metal part of the dash) if the holes are not already there. I don’t know what the vent configuration of your car is, but if you don’t have any vents located on the sides of your dash at all, then you either have a lot of work to do to fabricate something, or you will have to settle for just having the hoses pointing down from behind the dash.   I don’t really know what a 1968 A/C dash (or your particular dash for that matter) looks like, but if it has any vents at all on the sides you would be able to hook up to those. I am guessing that the reason people are saying it won't fit 1968 is because there are no vent locations on the sides at all.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Kevin Riel Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 5:28 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash pics?   John,       It sounds like you are JUST the man I need to talk to.  Ok, I follow you in that the 68 ball vent bezels were NOT chrome, as the 66-67 ones were.  That doesn't concern me too much, as I could disassemble them and paint the outer bezels.  Even if the dash side didn't have the correct texture, it would be close enough if it were painted dash color.  I have to restore my 68 dash anyway, so it will be getting new paint.  Do you think the contour of these chrome units would be close enough (even if modified a bit) to fit a 68 dash, and or passenger side next to the glove box?  What is you opinion of this?  Thanks once again!   Kevin Riel
