If those are all the same/one pad - that is a '65 A/C pad. They have the vent embedded in the center of the pad.

I would like to know if they need the vents and other parts in order to re-cover. If so, I would send junky ones and remove & replace before I install to hedge my bet on the whole shebang getting lost or damaged in shipping. I do not have a '65 speaker grill but may have a '66, (which is most likely different) that is not in a car.

You are right in that the grilles are different. I compared my '66GP grille to the '65 type I have pictured and they are different.

As for whether they need the speaker grilles, I don't know till I show them my dash. At that time I will be asking of course.

One question for the '65 guys is: Are there grilles in the air vents?? I don't know? The really crummy non A/C top I pictured does have some grilles in there but they look like they might have been added later? I would have they should NOT be there but am I wrong??

My '65 top WITH A/C does not have any grilles and neither does the top in my '66GP.

My two 65 AC dash pads do NOT have grilles in the defroster vents.

As I suspected this pad I have has certainly been messed about with by a real butcher.

Still hoping someone can supply a speaker grille for it. Needs to be from a pad WITHOUT A/C.

Going to the pad repair guy today........

Ian, thanks for all your help!

I still need 2 dash pads, both for a 66 full-size with AC
The 2+2 has ATC which also has a sensor built in it.

ps
Your NEW tach housing looks great with the NOS 66 tach I just picked up.
Wish I could have bought more.
