I want to run with my original dash pads and gauges... OR does someone have a link to a decent under dash unit? Looking to keep it around $500

Harry,they will work, I used to like the 72-74 dash bezel cause it's easier to do in aluminum so I put the 72-74 pad & glovebox door on almost everyone of them that I owned for me

They will but there are differences. You can also cut the older dash openings to fit the a/c duct work. I have done that a few times.
