dash pad clips for an idiot

[gramps77]

First, allow me to share that I'm an idiot. I threw away my old dash pad cause it was completely gone and as I threw it in the dumpster, noticing the metal clips thinking I wont remove them cause Im SURE they'll come with the new dash. OBVIOUSLY they don't.

Question is, do the clips work for all 73-87 dash pads. I noticed in LMC they mention 79-80 then 81-87. Am I missing something?

which clips do you mean?? the clips im thinking of are part of the pad and slide in by the edge

I used part # 30-0569 on my 80.. they worked fine... but do yourself a favor and order 12... so when you break 5 you can still get your dash pad in with out having to wait to reorder more... (like I did)

Rusty C10, we're talking about the ones that look like they are part of the dash like you're saying.
Thanks Vegas step, thats what I figured. I wouldnt think that part of the dash would be that different. In the LMC catalog, the years they do list all have that same part number you mentioned.
although now that Im thinking of it, how did you break metal clips?

they have these little tabs that latch onto the dash pad.. I had a hell of a time getting them on.. every other one would snap the little tab off...

I tried to bend the tabs down very very carfully.. snap... it's not too bacd.. but for the price order extra...
