What the heck is the difference!

Since doesn't exist hard trim ( plastic ) with ignition switch on dash, there was not a chance to think it could be a 70 plastic setup so just 68 soft trim. 69 is soft trim too, but also diff from 68... bigger ignition switch and more rounded dash pad edge, like 70.

From the distance I just can say you need what already was mentioned... just the dash bezel setup and hazzard switch.

Then optionally the console top for correctness ( which is available repro too same as the dash bezels ) and seats.

Thanks brother
Its amazing the small differences in the years i had no idea about

Even your mention of 69 from a 68 was a minor difference in the dash

Pretty amazing

Another tid bit, you definitely have the 68 (68 only) ash tray. Slider type (see red arrow in pic). Late 68 models and 69s/70s received the pull down style ash tray. 70 ash tray wouldn't have the padding on them.

Thanks a lot vegas charger
Am reaally impressed and intruged at these small details
Yer i have to slide the ash tray down with a bit of force sometimes. Careful not to break it but does seem to get a bit stiff.

Did not realise 69 or 70s were pull down and not slide.
Trying to picture the difference in my head between slide and pull down
As they both go downwards  haha. But i think i have it 😁

Anything else u fellas can pick up?
The. Padding  the glove box. The ash tray are all correct
The heater controls correct? On 70 they look like black push down buttons.

I know the console is not correct
The chrome around the pedals im sure wasnt aval in 68? But mine has it

Please if anything else . Please point it out.  Will only give me things to work on over the next few months
Cheers fellas

I think the change for the ashtray was because the shifter didn't allow to slide it out comfortably it when in parking, so they took care about that on laters.

Heater control labeling bezel is correct. As already mentioned 68 got bezel for label the buttons, while 69/70 are labelled on buttons itself ( no extra bezel on top )

Chrome pedal dress up was a 69 SE option. Do not know if it is a separate option
