the bump side is a bit thicker and the dentside has a part than comes down across the dash after the radio/hvac controls. i don't think they'd be anywhere close to interchangeable if that's you're thought or at least i lack the creativity to imagine how it could be done.

No way to use a 73 pad on a bump.

Thank-you both.........I found a 1973 that is being sold as parts very cheap . I wondered if the screw holes are the same . I do think they have screw holes
Anyway I was thinking of using it as a attachment template to make me a custom dash pad..............maybe.......
Do they attach at the same places or some of the same..........

Hence why I MAY try to make one
I was gonna RAT ROD the truck....so I ripped out a good dash..... with not much damage if I remember correctly.........
I did not know then that they can be repaired easier than I realized ...
I should have not ripped it out ........but I do like the steel dash greatly because it was factory painted very nicely
