66 - 67 Belvedere Dash Differences

[Wayne66]

Can someone let me know what the differences are in the Belvedere I and Belvedere II dash frame and instrument cluster are?
Pics would be nice if possible.

66 cluster has a black square with the Plymouth insignia, at the bottom of the speedo.

Was the headlight switch and wiper switch in different locations?

I don't think so.

I think some but not sure which, had a body color glove box door versus black.

67 should have flasher switch, where 66 was dealer install or none.

I have an unmolested 67, and happy to take pics.

Flashers were mandated as of Jan. 1 1966. My March 66 Satellite has dealer installed flashers. My father bought a 66 Olds in May 66 dealer installed flashers also. He asked why and was told about federal mandate .

That would be great if you would do that. Thanks in advance.

It seems that some had the headlight and wiper switch in the instrument cluster and some were below the cluster in the dash frame.
I'm trying to find out which years and trims packages had which?

All I've seen are in the cluster.

Dodge dashes are VERY similar, sheet metal wise, possibly identical, except- the headlight switch is in the metal dash.

Do you have an unused hole in the speedo cluster?

No, I have a frame that has two holes under the cluster on the left side of the column that I believe are for headlight and wiper.

The Dodge and Plymouth dashes are VERY much different, and the components do not swap out.

 

[YY1]

Yes, having a not so sharp day.

Cluster and glove box totally different

So it sounds like I have a Dodge frame not a Plymouth frame.

Convertible top up and down switch and flasher switch are on the left of column on my 66 Satellite. If you look in the just above

lower left hand corner is top switch. Flasher is out of pic to the left. May need to use magnifier to see.

Here are some photos of my 67 Belvedere II. Cluster is stock (Tach is blocking oil pressure dummy light and ammeter). I also removed the a/c and heat controller which was where my tach is now. 3 center gauges went where a vent for a/c used to be. I did paint my gauge needles. They needed a touchup when I rebuilt my gauge cluster.

forgot a photo!

Go on ebay look for 1967 Belvedere in Ebay motors you'll see show me cars and trucks, click on cars and trucks. There is an ad for a 67 GTX the one for $119900. Look at dash pic looks like yours, only yours is painted? around speedo. The dash has the same stuff next to the left of steering column.

One question is that red light to left of column for brake balance warning?

 

[patrick66]

E-brake and brake warning light.

I think the guy before me did paint around my dash with that silver. But I thought he just touched up what was factory, could be wrong though. It's an LA built car, and californians love there "dealer options".
