Did you say something, Mark??????????? Are you there????????????

i am about to start doing the same thing. but i am replacing everything inside the car, my first problem is no matter what i do i cannot get the upper dash out. half of the pieces are not even their like the pillar moldings the lower parts of the dash are gone also, with that said pulled the dash out on the right side and it will only move about two inches then i tried to lift from the center and that does not give me anymore room. also my wiring is all over the place, that is another big problem. also if anyone has the center dash bezel without the guages i can use one mine broke in half, by the way my car is a 75 with air any interior parts at a fair price i can use even a wiring harness. thanks for helping me out.

You are in for a treat. A couple of observations.  One the 78 through 82 dash that was talked about in this post is different that your 75 dash.  Therefore I would start a different post as some who could help you may not read down this far as they will believe it is talking about a 78-82 dash issue.  Second make sure that you have the GM manual for your 75.  If you do not post that you are looking for one. Someone may have one or like in my case someone posted a link to ebay that where one was for sale.   Great group of people on this site.

The one rule I have is to post specific request with good subjects so that people with experience in that area will read them.

The basic advise I gave on replacing the dash hold and that is get some paint or dye as they call it.  A spray gun or paint in cans if you do not have a compressor.  I purchase one from harbor freight Co.  Replace everything that is hard to get at while the dash is out.  That include the lights I have a good source for those if you need it.

I would also get an assembly manual for your year.  It helps show you how thing go together.

Of course the most important thing is to join up as you will be with us a long time.

Good luck and ask away.

 I see someone opened up my old post on the dash.  I have not started mine yet and still have reservations about it?  I have a dash cover over the original dash and don't know why so I want to pull it off and check why?  Why I don't know sounds like work to me.... anyway so once I get the cover off I will most likely take the dash out to fix the original one so I dont have this cover dash???? I was told to replace the heater core while the dash is off. THis has me stressed, its not leaking now but I sure the original one,and then I read the other day about a heater core with air condition is a real pain, so now more timid about it. So as soon as it warms up here a little in PA I will get started if no one talks me out of it. What additional matters does the air condition provide with the heater core. I need to get some post and start researching this again.  Any comments are welcome, I think I can handle it but its running real nice now and I can enjoy it so why mess it up for the summer!!!!!! 

You can replace the heater core without messing with the A/C, although if the A/C  isn't working, it's a good time to take care of it at the same time (only pull dash once!). Like any project, usually thinking about it is worse than doing it!
