Are ‘68 and ‘69 RR Bare Dashes the Same?

[haywire 440]

I would think so, just wanted to know if a ‘68 would be correct in a ‘69?

I am pretty certain they are the same, actually I think 68-70 are the same or at least very similar, enough that they can be used across the 3 years. I have a 69 Charger dash frame in my 70 RR (someone else put it in there).

Correct? No, but they will bolt in the car. They are definitely different 68 to 69. The fuse box position changes, and that changes the glove box liner. Possibly other changes I’m not aware of.


1970 is one year only due to the key position, column diameter change, fuse box position, and dash pad mounting and glove box hinge mounting. 1970 has hard plastic instead of soft pads on the front of it. And the glove box opens down instead of up.

So if you think they are all the same you have been given several reasons why not.

Oh darn it, I didn’t have my Mopar thinking cap on. Thanks for spelling it out R413.

I can see where that would work for you with the rallye dashboard. Thanks for your response.

Don't forget the reverse light, you'll have to drill that hole

Yeah I forgot about the key issue, but again they will bolt in as stated.

69 has a bigger diameter ignition switch so you would have to use a 68 switch, or make the hole bigger.

Boy oh boy, this is ‘68-‘70 101 on dashboards. I know this stuff but had a lot on my mind.

I do have both size tools to get them out so that’s covered.
THANKS Everyone for clearing this topic up.
This has nothing to do with the topic, but a recent photo I took of this Desoto engine in Arkansas.
