Dash Pad question

One of our fellow thirdgen people has a Dash Pad from an 84 camaro and is willing to sell it, does anyone know if this will fit in a 91RS?


Thanks in advance
Steve

The only difference is where the two center vents on the lower dash. There is a lip on the camaros and the firebirds have no lip on theres its just flat all the way. The firebirds will work just fine on the camaro just look a little different.

you better check it before you buy it.
i have a 90 iroc and i went to the junk yard and they got me a pad from an eairlier camaro, and it did not fit, the lenth was about 4" too small (from the front to the windsheild)
also my 89 bird dash didnt fit

ok i compared 84 bird to 84 maro and damn lot of differences, right off the bat i saw the center vents that are on the maro and not on the bird, and the litte vents at the door ends of the dash are not same design and so are speker covers, are removeable on the bird and not on the maro, front lip is curved on maro and flat on bird and comes out further about 3" on the maro.

damn, dont notice til ya pay attention and look for differences..,

85Sport and Trent got it, hehe
