I am really just making sure if I see a good correct one that I don't overlook it as it might take a long time to find one so I appreciate your advice on identifying them.
This is a good stance to have.

Yeah, I've recently come to realize that most dash inserts were set up for A/C - but in the Canadian praries, very seldom were cars built with A/C ~ I have some spares (I have only bought dash inserts for cars with gauges & w/o A/C) but I am actually having trouble findind a good potential replacement for my '70 (found a '72 on eBay last night)...

If yours isn't that great shoot me a message, maybe I can hook you up with a better one;
the only problem is the engine turned dash inserts I have are all supposed to have the 1974/5+ 'Radial Tuned Suspension' emblem above the column.
