Trying to finish up my dash. Started with a bare frame so i been searching for an ash tray aseembly. I have a NON rallye dash(sweep gauge) . I see some have a knob on the front and are metal ,and some slide out and look to be padded?
Are all B bodys trays the same 68-70? Charger ones work same too?? Anyone have a pic of the one i need? Thank you!!!

68 is paded and slides down. 69 is metal and tilts out.
Welllll, Not entirely correct.
I was doing a little research (not scientific) on this very issue. I currently have 26 '68 B'-Bodies" in my data base and here's what I have found so far:
Of the four plants ("A" Lynch Rd, "B" Hamtramck, "E" L.A., and "G" St. Louis)all "B" bodies in my data base (Coronets, Road Runners, Satallites, Beleveders and Chargers)of the 26, 9 had Flippers and the remaining 17 were built with "Slider" Ash Trays.
The first appearance (in my data base) of the flip ash tray is a '68 Beleveder built at St. Louis on 6 Apr 68. A Lynch Road RR built on 4 May 68 had the flip ash tray.
Of the 10 cars in my data base built after 6 Apr 68 all had flipper except 2 with sliders from the St. Louis plant.
By no means should this be considered "gospel" but I do have examples of 10 Flipper ash trays on 68 "B" bodies.
Not to muddy the waters but another example of Ma Mopar doing things a little different.

Both ash tray styles were used on 68 RRs - my LL1 68 RR has a padded slider-style, built in December '67 in Michigan; friend's 68, built in June '68 has a flip-out style ashtray, and was built in St. Louis.
