69 Roadrunner dash question?

I have a 70 Charger and found that Year One sells a "DIN" type radio face plate (the modern aftermarket radio rectangular opening) for a "68-69 Roadrunner" are they (Roadrunners) the same "pebble grain" as 69-70 Chargers? (Or ribbed like 68 Charger?)(Or something else?)  :shruggy: I was going to chop a 70 Charger delete plate up.  :eek2:

I think the grain may be the same but I also think the two panels are quite different in size and shape.  Not 100% certain though.

Thanks Ghoste, I called Year One first and they had no idea. I thought maybe all rallye dashes were the same?

Ghoste

The Road Runner dash in 68-69 isn't a Rallye style though, it's a rectangular piece like a Coronet or Satellite.  The 70 Road Runner had the same dash as the Charger.
Mind you the radio bezel is a separate piece from the rest and the radios have a lot of interchange between them.  The 70 Charger radio and the 69 Road Runner radio have about the same physical dimensions (one is thumbwheel and the other is knobs,) but looking at photos of the two, they appear a lot different.

Well that kills that idea then, thanks you saved me a very aggravating exchange and loss of shipping!  :2thumbs:
