68 cutlass/442 dash panel

Anyone out there know where I can find a steel dash panel (mine is rusted under the windshield) I'm told only a 68 will work. Thanks.

68 and 69 are the same,you can make 70-72 work.

Thanks Greg. I keep getting conflicting answers on this subject, some say the 69 is exactly the same while others say no. I guess to be on the safe side I want a 68 until proven otherwise.

Who told you that?
Based on what?
I know there are 100 variations between the seemingly almost identical '68 and '69 F85 line, but I don't think dash panel sheetmetal is among them.

I would trust rocket doc, he seems to have some bit of experience in this matter.

I just located a panel from a 68 (he claims its a good one anyway) we'll see what happens. Thank you rcktdoc and octania for your expertise and quick responses.
