Dashboard Conversion 700

Well its coming to a point of where my cracking OEM dashboard has become more than an eyesore. Just like most other early 700's it has split down the middle from the defroster vents and down to the hood for the cluster. I went shopping at several different wrecking yards to find that all the dashboards have the same issues except a blue one and that wouldn't fit my interior. My question is would a dashboard from an early 90's car with the correct cluster fit in place of the earlier dashboards in terms of fit or are the mounting holes in different places? Instrumentation will have to be adapted and I would imagine a few heater ducts might also need to be changed but that aside Im curious if the dashboard itself would be compatible in terms of fit. The ones Im refering to are the "sloped" dashboards with the angular cluster hoods.


Ideas or thoughts? I know this is going to be a big job however I don't care for those stick on covers.

Thanks guys in advance
