Does any one why the 1974 Heater AC controls will not fit into 1975 dash? There seems to be a different space in the center bottom of the unit???

That's what I thought. But it does not seem to be the same in the middle bottom of the unit. So it will not go in. Has anyone experienced this or am I doing it wrong?

You might want to post some photos of what you have to make sure it's the correct part. I know Ebay and other sites advertise things that are not what they really are all the time.

Just a thought. Good luck none the less!

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM PIC IT HAS A CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE BOTTOM AND THE TOP PIC DOES NOT.

THESE CAME FROM A 74 AND 75 TORINO.

I DOUBLED CHECKED TODAY AND THE DASH NEEDS THAT CUT OUT TO FIT.

I just double checked my 75 wagon and it looks exactly like your bottom photo...hopefully trimming that and you should be back in business.
