I'm looking for a 69 charger rallye dash frame and saw on another web site that a 68 dash frame is not quite the same,(I thought that they were identical).  I need some expert information.  Thanks

All 3 years are slightly different, actually.
I think the biggest difference between '68/'69 dash frames is the ignition switch area. '68 ignition switches are different than '69, therefore the mounting on the dash frame is different.

The 68 dash comes to a point in the middle. I assume the dash frame would accomodate that.

Nope. That's just the shape of the pad.  :yesnod:

Yep - the pad comes to a point.  The dash is straight across... .
