Re: 37 120 Dashboard removal

Below are some pictures of one of the five 37 120 dashes I have. In removing them from cars without resorting to the drastic method I used on this one was to first remove the glovebox. It is held by 4 screws from the bottom that is its hinge datum. It is also held by a sliding stop that has a removable end. Second I remove the speedometer section which is also held at the bottom with 4 screws and from the back two studs on the section with nuts. I have more trouble with the center section than the other end sections combined. The most trouble I seem to have is from a car that the windshield is gone out of and it was allowed to rust the back of the dash. The pictures show such a dash. The light switch gives me the most trouble. I show a center section that only is attached to the CBU by two bolts on the bottom. The light switch, Throttle, key switch, lighter socket, and starter button help to hold it on. The gauge cluster is bolted by 4 stud like features that attach the cluster to the CBU. Side note the dash end pieces of a 115 have the bosses for the AC Delco chrome pieces there and by drilling out for the 4 screws that hold the chrome on you can use a speedometer and glovebox door from a 115C dash if you can't find 120C's.
