powerwagon Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 will the dash from a 1950 plymouth fit into a 1952 plymouth? i like the looks of the round gauges better on the 50 dash. i just need to know if the 50 dash shell will bolt into the 52 body. thanks Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Good question. They used basically the same body 1949 to 52, but with a heavy face lift for 51. How much did they change the body? They made the dash different but how much did they change the body where it went in? Another question, did the dash bolt in or weld in? It might take some modifying or adapting but it should be possible to fit it in. You will probably have to take the windshield out to do it. Also rewire the dash. Up to you if it is worth it, I think I would learn to like the 52 gauges lol. Quote
Young Ed Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Those dashes bolt in. The 51-52 cars have more windshield area but I believe are the same width. If you look at pictures of both the windshield pillars are thinner for 51-52. I've seen one 52 with a 49-50 dash and I believe the guy said it wasn't too hard to adapt but it wasnt a straight bolt in. Quote
