Universal Dashboards?
« on: February 06, 2014, 08:48:05 PM »
Are dashboards the same in all Eagles? I have an 1981 SX4 and am going to look for a dash to put in since half the old one is missing. Can I grab one from any 1980-1988 Eagle?

I think you can do that. Only thing I don't remember is if the wagon is wider or not.

Can anyone confirm that?

I can't confirm it 100% since I've never done it, but I'm 90% certain they are interchangeable.

All Eagles were the same from the dashboard forward, except for some sheet metal differences on the 1980 models.

You can even swap in the old Hornet/Gremlin dashboard with a little work.
