Early Bronco Dash

Early Bronco Dash Components – Frequently Asked Questions

Did the Early Bronco dash layout change from 1966 to 1977?
Yes, there were some changes to the dash layout throughout the 1966-77 Ford Bronco year models. We have provided a schematic above for identifying which year of Early Bronco dash you are working with. It's also not uncommon to see custom dash setups in classic Ford Broncos.

Are 66-77 Ford Bronco dash parts interchangeable between years?
Most dash parts will interchange across multiple years, but not all. For instance, you can use a 66-67 Bronco dash pad on a 68-77 Bronco, but the holes for defrost vary, so you won't get quite the same performance out of your heater defroster. Also, the indicator lights that Ford added to the Early Bronco dash from 1973-77 will not work on 1966-72 Broncos without custom modification to the dash and custom wiring.

Do replacement dash components match the factory look?
From instrument knobs and gauges to switches and small dash details, we offer OE-quality 1966-77 Ford Bronco dash parts designed to match factory fit, appearance, and operation. We also offer custom dash components that allow you to add your own custom style. It's all up to you.

What tools do I need to work on my Early Bronco dash?
Most Early Bronco dash components can be installed with basic hand tools and mechanical knowledge. Items like switches, bezels, dash pads, and knobs are generally straightforward. You will, however, want to pick up this bezel nut tool to make removal and installation of the switch bezels easier and reduce the chances of scratching up your dash.

What can I do if my roll cage interferes with my glove box?
This is a common issue, and we have the solution. Our custom steel dash panel with glove box relocation ensures your glove compartment door will clear your front roll bar perfectly.
