1992 Dash in a 1988 Camaro.
I was wondering if you can put a dash out of a 1992 camaro into an 1988 Camaro. I have not looked at anything and don't know if they are the same or different. I have an 88 that I am building but the dash is bad and I have found a dash out of a 1992. Just wondering if it can be done. Thanks

I am not really concerned about the wiring part. I am going to take all the stock gauges out and replace them with autometer gauges. The car is basically a race car that gets driven on the street and I figure the autometers are more accurate. Thanks for the info. I will do a search and see what I can find. Thanks

It doesnt bolt straight in properly, the main dash mounts are different on each end, you have to change them if you dont want a hackjob.
