How to identify a 70 speaker grill
« on: April 07, 2010 - 01:58:17 PM »
My speaker grill is warped, looking at this on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140390458707&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Problem is I'm pretty sure at least some part of my dash has been swapped.  I have the 72 up gauges?

What is the difference in the 70 speaker grill?  How can I tell which dash frame I have?

Thx

The 70 speaker grills have all 4 legs the same length. The later years had two legs that were longer. I just cut the two longer legs to fit my 70 dash. Since you aren't sure what year your dash really is, you could get a later year speaker grill and it will either fit, or you will have to shorten two of the legs like I did. No big deal there. I just don't know what would happen if you tried to put a 70 speaker grill on a later year dash.

Thanks for the info!  I'll have to take mine off and see what I have.

Thx!

My speaker grill is warped also.  My car is a 70 and it is the original speaker grill.  The legs on it are not the same, two are taller than the other two and as stated this is off of a 70.
