Standard Dash to Rallye Dash

The radio location is different on the standard dash vs. the rally dash. A lot of differences so its really easiest to get a rally dash frame if you want a correct looking set up. there are some who cut and pasted this and that for an aftermarket look.

You can use one out of an A-body cuda to save a lot of expense because they are around, however it will require some modification to make it correct for the target year style you are trying to create.

Moving the vin number is not a problem, people make it into rocket science and usually those with something to hide make a big *** deal about it. My 68 dart has a complete rally dash out of a 68 Barracuda. Cops and state patrol have seen the car after the swap and NO ONE CARES.

They just look for the correct vin rivets which you can buy (expensive), They check to make sure the vin tag secure on the dash with a finger wiggle, and they check to make sure the number matches the registration. The only reason they will start checking body stampings and so on is if they suspect something is wrong. They need probable cause for that and a warrant. Its not a huge deal if the car is on the up and up.

Rally dashes are not all the same. Be aware that every single year they were made from 67-71 has differences. You need to decide what year style you want to create to determine which dash frame and parts you need.

I made a rally dash thread some time ago describing the differences.
