1970 Dodge Dart Dash Removal
Ive never removed the dash from a 70 Dart. But in my 66 Dart as mentioned above the windshield needed to be removed for dash to come out. Now as cosgig and others have said you could remove the heads of the bolts from underneath but Im sure thats not easy. Once the dash is out your probably going to find a 47 year old harness and its going to be hard and stiff and needing replacement if saftey is your concern.
The reason I say this is because you can do a replacement without removing the dash. I cut and custom built my harness one wire at a time so Im sure a purchased harness can be done. It will be easier to do if you remove the front seats and the steering column should be dropped. No matter which direction you head it wont be easy.
Should you decide to remove the dash when you go to put it back in replace the locating studs with bolts coming up from the bottom.
This was some great advise I was given by a member here and it will allow me to remove the dash in the future with the windshield still in. (It still wont be easy!)
And as as cosgig mentioned you may end up painting and detailing your dash which will run into more time and more $$$$$. It never ends!
Have fun and best of luck
