 :iagree: with Allan
But the lower dash plastic pieces will not match up well with the pad.

Did the 70 cuda have different plastic trim pieces?  Longer or something of that nature?   :clueless:

Not sure on the 'cuda, but the lower plastic dash pieces are a different shape on Challengers. 70 is different from 71-74. But the pad will fit the frame just fine.

I know 70 Challenger had different lower bezels, but how do they "fit" different ?

They 'fit' the same. As in the same mounting screws, but the shape of the pad/plastic is different where they come together. Like where the plastic comes up between the ash tray and gauge cluster, they come up to the same place, but the contours are not quite the same. Difficult to describe really.
