Are 49-51 ford dashboards interchangeable, Sedan, Convertible, Woodie?

The woodie is not the same as the standard closed car.

Are you looking for a particular dash? I have a 1950 and live in Northern Illinois - not far from Gurnee.

Ken, Thanks for the offer. I need to update my photo. I now live full time in Mesquite, NV.
But in answer to others questions. I’m looking for a 51 dash. I am working on a49 Woodie but I like the 51 gauge layout better!

Re: 49-51 Dashboards

Not only is woody dash different, but the fact that a 51 woody still uses the 49 dash makes me think that there is no 51 dash that will bolt right in to your car. That said, obviously you aren't building an original car I can't imagine it would require a crazy amount of fab work to make a '51 dash work.
