1972 Dash -- I need a little help here

[Rey S.]

My Bad, I didn't take enough photos when I disassembled the dash in the first place.I have everything except the center section ready to go back in. What's the proper way to assemble this thing. I haven't found anything in the AIM to help me out so I am looking to rely on the experience of those that have done this before.
I would appreciate photo procedures and or phone conversations or the name(s) of publications that have detailed this procedure in the past. if any one would be gracious enough to talk on the phone send me your contact info via private message or on this forum if you dare and I will contact you at a time convenient to you.
Thanks -- Rey

Hi Rey,
I've found this sequence to work on several occasions:
Top dash pad.
Left side lower dash pad.
Parking brake console.
Shifter console.
Center gauge cluster/bezel.
Right side lower dash pad.
It's important to install ALL accessible fasteners loosely until all the parts are in place and then begin to tighten the fasteners on the various parts gradually while obtaining and maintaining the fit you desire.
It's also important to test the operation of everything you can while assembling. You don't want to end end up with the the dash in place and a gauge or some lamps that aren't working.
If you decide that you'd like to talk in the next couple of days pm me. I'm going to be away tomorrow (Sunday) at the Delaware Valley Chapter's 'Run For the Ribbons' meet; but Monday would be good.
Regards,
Alan
