PanteraDoug,

Not to insult your intelligence, but it may not be as easy as swapping stuff (in case you didn't know, but you might be fully aware).

If you have a dual-pod, it's not a simple swap. You need the single-pod specific HVAC, console, and install two small brackets where the A-pillar meets the front body, one per side. Then, the shift/heater tube tunnel isn't set up to accept the dual-pod specific console, so you'll need to install brackets.

How do I know? I have a car that should have a dual pod dash, but the previous owner installed all of the parts and some body panels from the donor '74 car. So, I have mostly '74 car parts and a dual-pod dash that doesn't fit. I'm either going to find a single pod dash or buy Wilkinson's carbon fiber version.
I'm not insulted at all Corey. I'm always learning.
I talked to Steve Wilkinson about this swap. He told me I can use my console. The defroster ducts need to be changed but the tubing to them can be adapted with hose from the existing.
He didn't say anything about the brackets though.
A little fabrication on my part isn't that big of a deal for me. I do it all the time for my own work.
