41 dash in 48 Plymouth?

anybody know the interchange on these old MoPars? I've got a 48 Coupe w/ no dash & a chance to buy a complete 41 dash for $80 (that was a counter offer to my $50). I've got a 47 Dodge dash that I'm pretty sure would fit, but would like to know if the earlier one fits. I didn't take the 48 dash out, it was that way when I got it. Those are MUCH cooler than the other ones I have to put in. any help would be appreciated!

 

i would say for 80 bucks buy iy. you can always re sell it.also ask on the p15-d24 forum

 

IIRC 41-48 are the same basic body shell, so the dash should fit. If not, it should be close enough to blend easy at the sides.

 

Its got to be damn close! If you think its that much better looking I'm sure you can make it work! Where theres a will theres a way!

 

Should bolt right in.

I have a `42, which was the same as the `41, except for first year covered running boards...after the war, `46-early`49 were carryovers from pre-war `42 . Basic body the same, so yeah, it'll fit.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I knew there'd be some MoPar guys on here somewhere. I actually love the way the 48 Ply dash looks, but don't have one. I have a nice, but empty coupe body shell w/ fenders & a (rough)hood, & a bare frame. But, I have a very rough 47 Dodge coupe w/ all the parts there. Thinking of doing some change over. From what I can tell, the Dodge frame is a little longer, but maybe everything else bolts up? This isn't something I'm presently working on, but you gotta grab parts when they show up. I'll try to get the dash a little cheaper. Thanks again for the help.

 

I just put a 48 pontiac dash in my 42 plymouth, practically bolted right in.

 

Check in over at the P15-D24 site http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/index.php?referrerid=1152 I am sure you could find someone over there with a spare 46-48 Plymouth dash they would part with.

 

Yes it will fit right in.
