66 dash chrome

I did not take the padded dash out of my 66 f 100, I have lost the trim that goes against the windshield. can it be replaced later or will it have to be in before the windshield ?

I would guess it to be easier installing the glass w/o trim installed... Email me if you need clips or anything related to your question above.

are you talking the chrome strip on the inside? between dash pad and glass? if yes its not bad to put back in. start on one side and line the clips up and then just pop it in

Mouldings mount on leading edge of padded dash at windshield, not on face of dash.

You can place the trim strip in after windshield is installed. Most I've seen run without the chrome trim piece installed with a padded dash. Looks nice with it; gives it a more clean look.
I even put the trim peice back in my 65 cc without replacing the padded dash and just ran a smooth painted metal dash.

If you've lost the trim piece, contact gangstakr, I'm sure he has one he could sell you...installing it is a
very simple matter...can be done in a minute with or without windshield in.
