Ive looked at a couple of convertible B bodies with the rally dash and noticed I don't see the top up/down switch.
Can anyone help me out on this? Ive never sat in a convertible with that dash so Im only going off the WWW pics.

Thanks!

For 1970 the Top switch is mounted to underside of upper dash. To the left of the radio. See photo.

Aren't 68 on dash down the the speedo ? ( at a side of the wiper switch )... just like those with rear deffog ( not optional on converts )




then 69/70 on the location shown at a side of the A/C- Heater controls

Aahh! Thanks man! I was trying to blow up pics and they'd get blurry but it looked like something was in that area!
Thank You!

Turn the knob around and it is the "Rear Window" on station wagons. . . .

68 without rear deffog or convertible option got a blank filler there

here with rear deffog... note the filler area for the switch...

converts got the bezel with the TOP lettering

None of them... black filler

BTW, the switch location difference for top and Rear deffog switch are the same as far I know for standard and rallye clusters between 68 and 69/70. Just that standard cluster are of coruse meeting with the standard cluster bezel setup
