66 Sport Fury Dash pad

[Frank Brooks]

Any chance anybody has a nice red dash pad for a 66 Fury?

I understand you will need to remove the windshield to replace your current/original pad correctly.

Most original pads for the 1965-6 models are cracked by now so that even if you do find one, it probably will not last all that very long

That's no fun at all. I have a nice pad cover thing on it...that's looking better and better all the time.

Do you happen to have a photo of your cover

That wasn't the case with my '66 Fury, Steve. It's attached to the dash with the same pretzel clips you see on door panels.

Agreed. And you can get at some of the clips from underneath to push them out.

Taking apart the dash is fairly easy, so I'd spring for the new dash pad if you have the spare time and cash.

I only made that remark Stan because one guy on this site from time to time purchased one of Bob's dashpads and didn't secure it properly. I am not sure whether the new pads have the original clips on them, so perhaps it is more difficult to install them then. Maybe someone that has actually bought one of the abcmoparts pads and installed it could comment. I am aware that on my 1965 300L I could remove and replace my original pad with another factory pad without taking out the windshield, and that may well be the case on the 1965-6 Plymouths as well.

In the 1965 Fury, the standard dash was metal and the pad was an option Same dash, simply a pad attached to it.
In 66, the same dash with the pad became standard.
Remove the pad and you simply have the original dash, only with 3/16ths inch holes in it.

Do you know if the metal dash under the pad would have been painted? Just removing the pad might be an option.

Honestly, I can't remember. Sorry.

The dash that came out of my parts car was painted. I believe it was body color before being blacked out. I can tell you for sure this weekend when I tear apart my other one.

Thanks , yours appears to have the padded dash pad under the cover.
My 66 Fury had the padded dash pad removed when I got it. The metal dash underneath was painted red. It looked to be original

Cheers

[Frank Brooks]

Yes, I have the padded dash under there. It is in sad shape.

These are from my metal dash on my 66 Sport Fury

Times two on the dash color. I went home and checked; the dashes are painted body color.

I peeked under there today. My dash is red. The car is off-white.

Have you checked the paint code on your fender tag? If it's Q or P(?) code, it was originally red.

Paint code is WW1.
