I have a 1968 Charger and the dash frame is rusted out along the windshield. I can get a dash frame from a 1970 Charger that has no rust. I know that the 70 has no hole in the frame for the ignition switch but can I just add the hole and bracket to the 70 dash for the ignition switch and then transfer everything from my 68 dash frame to the 70 dash frame?

If you change to a 70 there are many differences from the 68 including: all lower pad mounting, glove box door mounting, ignition switch location, upper dash pad etc. Only way I would go to a 70 would be if you can get a complete assembly to bolt in. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

I have done this for customers a few times.
