dashboard interchangeability

It will be fine. Tell him to handle it VERY carefully, it may become a cracked dash by the time it gets to you. Use your wiring harness and gauges etc, just use the dash frame and pad from the donor.

Great, thanks for the tips! I'll let him know to be careful and to use a ton of bubble wrap and peanuts in the packing. Realistically, even if it does develop a crack or two in shipping it will look worlds better than the one in the car, but there's no reason to risk it.

The fit between the two is the same. Have him get you the heater control panel also just to be safe. The dash it's self is the same dimension and all, and so are the gages. Just get as complete parts as you can.

^unfortunately the heater control was already gone, I asked about that first. I didn't actually think he'd tell me the dash was uncracked, soon as he told me it was intact I went for it. I guess it's a trade-off of him being in Wisconsin; cars may not rust in the west, but the sun doesn't get as many opportunities to torture plastic/rubber/vinyl in the midwest with the seasonal changes.
