Is the top dash pad off a '68 charger the same as my '68 roadrunner? They look the same in a picture but want to make sure. Thanks!

I am lucky enough to have both, and they are identical in 68. The factory used a different pad in 69-70 tho.
Just Dashes redid mine and it came out great.

All 68 b bodies are the same and all 69-70 are the same and all years will interchange

Thanks I knew there was a difference between '68-'69and70 but I didn't know if there was a difference between ralley and non ralley dashes. Thanks!

I haven't posted it in the New Products Section yet, we just test fitted our 68 only bbody dash pad and it's now available. Like all our other pads, they have a foam covered steel frame and vinyl covered.

Is the notch/recess for the heater control one of the differences between the '68 (no recess) and '69/'70 dash pad or am I mistaken that this is a difference? The '69 appears to be a little flatter or turned down????

69-70 pad is much thicker on the leading edge, about 1.5" the 68 pad is about 1" & has a round leading edge with a step detail..
