69 B-bod dash trim

Hi all

We recently received some parts from Year One inc these dash trim pieces, that go at the extreme ends of the dash, at the same level as the glove box lid.

Our originals are a smooth finish (see pic below), yet the ones they sent are textured. The pic below of the 2x textured parts is nabbed off the PG Classic site, but they look identical to the Y.O. parts.

We queried it with Y.O. but they say they only have the textured style, despite their website saying there's a smooth & textured option. It's been suggested elsewhere ('For B Bodies Only' site) that they may be a 1970 item and are only producing this type and passing them off as 68/69 too.

Has anyone with a 69 Charger or Roadrunner WITHOUT A/C got any pics of their dash that shows these parts, so I can see if ours are original/standard parts and also to check whether the Charger has the same parts?

I say without A/C cos I think they use this part as a vent, so is completely different.

Any help gratefully received,

Thanks Anton

There goes that theory then! :lol:

Tho I'd still like to hear from any 69 owners to be sure... to be sure :?

I might be wrong Rob, but I think the Charger/SuperBee dash panel (i.e. with separate dials) was textured, the others weren't.

Thanks Adam/Roger/Anton/Steveo,
Looks like it might be just the Sport Satellite & GTX that get the smooth version then :roll:

And maybe the SE Charger...... any 69 SE's out there? :lol:

Here's a fuzzy enlargement of ours in situ...
