6 years later and you are helping a guy out ... appreciate the video!
Glad to help!
Any new content???
Thanks for the help. I ran into a problem with the speedometer cable still being hooked up but everything else was pretty straight forward. Now to clean up 37 years of dirt from the vents and make it all look pretty.
I've been taking a lot of notes on how to take down these G bodys you have the answers to all my questions thanks I've searched quite a bit for a channel like yours that just gets down to doing it and actually showcasing how thanks mane
Thanks for watching!
This classic g body video helped me remove a dash from a cutlass for my cutlass 1000%. Thank you!
youre welcome
Very good video, very detailed, and simple. AWESOME JOB!
The belch was on point Brian. Nice video very helpful!
Glad it helped
Very good video. I like how simple you made it seem. This will come in handy both for when I am searching for a replacement for my cracked dash pad in the junk yard and for when I pull my dash.
Btw, my son (11y/o) says your burp was only a 4/10. You should see him work one out, hahaha!
U do a great job with the g body I learned a lot of stuff off your videos and saved a lot of money
+johnnie bell Glad my videos help you out. Thanks for watching.
fan of your videos I'm a g body owner for the last 12 years. I thought about do 334 stroker build on my 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix LE 5 speed manual transmission install.
Never heard of a 334. Interesting build. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, saved me some trouble finding the bolts on my 1987 LS Monte Carlo, however the screws near the windshield were exposed and not under the speaker covers, which look different on my 87.
I swear...I just damn love TH-cam! THANK YOU!
Hope my videos are helping you on your Gbody project.
This is going to help me get that 82 Chevy El camino Dash off. Thanks Bro
Hey did you get that dash off? I’m working on an 80 el Camino right now and I’m a little intimidated
I was wondering if you could help me out with unplugging the factory gauges and speedo cable on my 1987 Olds 442? This is my first time attempting a dash removal on a g body car. I have everything else unbolted and ready to go. Thanks Bernie
to replace the ac box gasket can it be done thru the firewall or does the dash have to be removed
Thanks for the dash removal video
I have a 1973 Monte Carlo that needs a new heater core, I was told it would be easier to pull the whole dash! I do have a new dash pad on order coming this way this week!
Everything is done from under the hood. I have a video on it. th-cam.com/video/zv9OFQd1bD8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. Very helpful stuff!
Thank you your video helped me a lot I was able to remove my dash to remove the AC box easy thank you again
right on. was pondering if I could keep the dash almost complete. helpful vid. I am currently stripping a 78 monte......any tips on removing corroded bolts for front bench seat? thanks
+vettari Lots of oil
thanks for the info starting on 79 brougham this week
Thank you very helpful on taking my 84 Monte Carlo dash out
glad the video helped
This might seem like a strange question, but I can't seem to find anyone who can answer it for me anywhere, in person or online, so maybe you might be able to shed some light on this for me. Will a G-Body dashboard fit an A-Body? I'm asking because I've been thinking about taking the dash from an '88 Cutlass and fitting it into an A-Body, but I would like to know if this is just a waste of my time.
where can I find vin locations on an 85 monte ss please help!! I know under the dash and my door vin is missing where else do I look
Yes that section snapped in half changing from cold to hot one morning. I found the blend door lever on eBay for around $50. It's not the price but the labor involved I'm concerned with. I can do most work on these cars but never had to get into the dash. By the looks of it, I'm gonna have to pull the dash, because I don't see another way to get the lever piece out. I don't see any vids/web articles giving specifics, was just wondering if you had any experience regarding the issue.
I believe you can change the blend door from under the hood by removing the top of the heater box assembly as if you were changing the heater core.
Saving this video!!! 85 elco coming soon!!
Appreciate the step by step really helped thanks a lot Keep It coming nice 👀 🍿
Thanks man its helpful i think im gonna pull out my malibu 80 dash and rebuild it
Thank you this was a extremely helpful video. Now I'm off to try it on my 87 SS wish me luck
Glad my video helped you out. All I can say is take your time. Treat the dash like glass.
Thanks for sharing. I'm in the middle of 86 El Camino mild restro and have request for a video on cleaning up the wiring behind the dash. I installed a dash cap, I'm a lil discouraged in the wiring department. I have an old alarm to remove and just want to clean up and run the wireing behind the dash board along with testing everything prier to Installing. Want to run everything like factory or better. Thanks
+Vincent Rodriguez If you want to clean it up you should remove the dash then you can easily figure out what is part of the alarm and what isn't. Email me and I can send pics. I ahve a dash out of a car with the harness still attached. olds7980@yahoo.com
Great info thanks
Great vid. Question, the plastic (blend door you refer to in vid) broke. Not during a dash removal, just snapped one morning. Can this be replaced? Advice or any vids pertaining??
The little plastic tab broke off where the cable attached too? It can be replaced. I think I have an extra. I would have to do some digging for them. I pulled these cars the rest of the way apart several months ago.
Thanks great info
Glad it was helpful!
so is this the only way I can replace the speakers in my regal dash since there is no attached speaker grill on top of the dash?
i need to replace the left turn signal bulb on a 82 regal--ant tips?? thank you great video
Remove the headlight bezel or get to it from under the hood.
I am trying to find a chrome script style (scroll written) emblem that is attached to the dash of an El Camino that says "El Camino SS". Would you happen to have one? Thanks for the video btw... great confidence builder.
Try Dixie Restoration Depot
Have you worked on pontiac g bodies? I hear you mention monte carlo and regal, but not the grand prix. I'm wondering if they are the same. Do you need to remove the dash to swap ac box?
+Angel Perez All Gbodies are the same for the most part for dash removal. Yes you need to remove the dash or at least the glove box.
I’m going take off my dash on my 84 Pontiac Grand Prix to put my 3.5 speakers in, thank you for your video
GP dashes are more tricky. The duct work is screwed to the dash and the screws need to be removed on the drivers side ducting behind the gauge bezel.
Thank u so much
another great vid thanx again
+Carlos Perez Thanks!
Great video.
Great videos..just what I've been looking for..I've got a 78 Malibu classic with the landau pkg..they told me it was called the notchback
Neicey that term stems from the mustang crowd since the Fox Body non-hatch or trunk cars are called notch backs. The 2 door Malibu only came one style regarding a trunk.
Classic G-Body Garage thanks hun..
Classic G-Body Garage thanks hun..
Do you have a mid 80's Chevy caprice to take a dash out of. I would love to see/purchase. Let me know. Thanks bro awesome vids very helpful. Especially to me, Never really been much of an interior guy.
Unfortunately I do not have any mid 80s Caprices. Just start slowly pulling trim and figuring out how its secured. I do appreciate you watching.
Can you do a 84 regal dash removal?
Hello I own a 85 cutlass olds, and I need to replace the blend door retainer piece you were touching @ 6:12 in the video, any tips or videos you can refer me to? Btw great videos im a G Body fan myself and appreciate your videos.
It just lifts out of place but from what I recall you have to fish it through a slot. Either way its not difficult.
Does the gauge cluster have to come out or anything else’s on the dad it self
Cluster has to come out, radio and heater controls.
How many bolts hold the under dash upper ducting in. Is it possible to remove this stuff without removing the dash shell? Already got rid of the firewall stuff. I want to use a lighter and smaller aftermarket box at a later date.
Keith Cromer On an Olds dash you must remove the cluster and the plastic backing behind the cluster to remove any duct work. If your looking for weight reduction don't waste your time. Its a few pounds if that.
Do you have a windsheild wiper motor you can get rid of. With delay
Depends on year. email me at classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
iam wanting to swap dashes in my 1980 malibu with a different gbody dash with two speakers instead of the single one in the center of the dash because my dash is trashed will this work and what else is needed to do swap i know for an example my wiper switch is on the dash not the column is there any dash better then then the others also do you have any dashes that are in good shape that you would be willing to sell
To make things easy, swap in an 81-88 Monte dash with 2 outer speakers. Everything will mount up and work the same. You may just need to run new speaker wires. Easy. I do not have any dashes available.
Very Good Vid
How do I fix the gauges and lights on a 87' cluster? Thanks for your help
th-cam.com/video/94T3HrFQdkA/w-d-xo.html
You saved my life lol great video brother got any parts for a 84 none ss ?
Yes I have parts. Email me at classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
you wouldnt happen to have the hand ball from the dual gate shifter i got a ball but i want the hurst hand grip just wondering if you have it??
You can buy them through ebay or Summit Racing.
How did you get the knob on the light switch off? Is there a clip?
Depends on the car. If a 78-81 Cutlass then there is a tab on the back you pull toward you as you pull the knob towards you.
right on buddy had mydash of right away thanks for the info
+Johnny Quintana Awesome glad my video helped you out!
So im taking the cruise control out of my 78 olds cutlass supreme and wondering if i can take out the cables and all or do they serve a dual purpose
You need a non-cruise cable. 1 long cable.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage that I can get where?
Do you have any videos on 1981 Buick Riviera
What do you think about the dash covers and where is a good place to buy them?
The dash cap to cover cracks? They are find as long as you take the time to fit them properly.
Looking for electroluminescent lights repair/replacement for my 1984 Regal. These are the exterior lights on the sides of the rear seat next to the windows. They are partially working but I want to fix them. I'm having trouble finding replacement parts for my car so any help is appreciated. Thank you.
try ebay or joining Classic Gbody Garage on Facebook and asking there.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage check out ETSY. I had a Riviera that I replaced those pieces on. Like $20-30
Tengo una duda, con el panel removido antes de instalarlo de nuevo debo antes colocarle todos los alambres? y con estos alambres conectados a los interruptores lo instalo?
Los cables salen con el panel de instrumentos. Los cables están unidos.
Do you have to unhook the speedometer and if so how do you do it? :( the only part not explained
i seen you had a Hurst Olds before do you have the crip from the shifter?
crip???? Do you mean clip? Which clip?
Is that bolt under the steering column on a 79 El Camino
Every Gbody yes
Very useful
does the steering colmn have to be removed? or can it just be lowered and out of the way?
Zak Deckich much easier to remove the column but not necessary.
Hello! Can you make a video showing how to remove a dashboard out of a 1983 Grand Prix and a video showing how to install a ac box into a 1983 Grand Prix? Your videos are very helpful and I appreciate the time you take to illustrate the process
Butta Wu I do not have a Grand Prix to make a video or I would.
Do you have a 3rd brake light for sale?
Hi, so I dropped a ring in the top vent of my 78 cutlass, is there any way to a access the vents? Or would I have to remove the dash? Thanks
You can pull the wood grain panels off the dash and potentially grab it. Which vent was it?
I have a 1980 Pontiac Lemans, is the dash removal the same?
Yes very similar
My 71 el camino had same bolt under steering column
how do you remove the gear selector cable and or speedometer cable to get cluster off?.
Gear selector cable is clipped to the steering column collar. Need to remove the lower vent panel under the column and you will see it.
Quick question what would cause the chime when like the door or open with the key in the switch 2 chime all the tme n is it a fuse I can pull n which fuse
+Marion Walker It is a switch inside the column when the key is in the ignition. If you want it to stop you need to fix the column or remove the chime under the dash.
Thanks
thanks !
I'm gonna tear off my e-body dash to replace heater core and clean out air ducts. What are these 80s BOC ducts made of? Do I need to be prepared to replace them if they're super brittle?
plastic
Hi I have a bare dash and I need to transfer stuff from one to the other can you show how to take everything from a complete dash and put in to a bare dash
It is a matter of just unscrewing it all from the one and installing it on the other.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage can you do a video on it....please
cool ty for sharig
have you made a video on how to remove a steering column ?
+dayan b No not yet
if am trying to access the ignition switch of a 1987 Monte Carlo for a remote start, do I need to remove the dash? Where do I find the ignition switch? Thnx
Lower steering column shaft. Right side.
Thnx. Lastly, how do I access the wires for the parking lights and horn?
alot of cars speedometer dnt work mite be good video on how to repair it finally got mine goin but that one thing on g body the speedometer not working
Does your speedometer read correct MPH, if so how did you fix that issue?
Nope nerd to put new wire
Is it the same process for a 1983 Grand Prix LJ?
Basically the same for all Gbodys
what up MOBYee!
How to remove the long wood grain ac vent on the passenger side without breaking it?
I have a 1987chevy Caprice how do I take the vinal top off
Remove the trim and start pulling it off.
how about a 1985 Buick regal is it the same way?
Yes similar.
hey I have a cutlass like the one in front of the car your working on.. I'm in need of both tail light bracket and the headlight ones as well.... Are you willing to sell them
I just replied to your email.
Classic G-Body Garage I have a 1984 cutlass supreme with a 307 could you post a video on how to tighten the belts. REALLY NICE VIDEOS BRO KEEP THEM COMING
do the fuse box have to come out with the dashboard
Doesn't have to but easier otherwise you are undoing the harness from the back of the dash. More of a risk of damaging the dash going out or in trying to mess with the harness
Its about the same on a cutlass ciera?
I have no idea. Never removed a dash on a Ciera.
Do u have rear taillights for 79 monte carlo
I watch ur video its gonna help me get to my heater core
Not currently but all of my parts get posted to ebay under Classic Gbody Garage
How do replace the light bulb in side a glove box on a 1984 el camino
bulb is part of the latch so look up inside, it pulls out.
Also, the speedometer in my 83 Grand Prix floats and reads incorrect MPH. How can I fix that issue?
Can start by piling the cable
I have a 82 gbody I put new lights in my dash but when I turn the dash lights on they still dont come on. Can you help me?
If all of your other dash lights work other than the gauges then you have an issue with the gauge circuit panel on the back. Torn copper film.
I have a 1980 Olds Cutlass Calais do you have any dashboards for those for sale I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma
No sir I don't
What about the underhood complete wiring harness.. do you have one of those?
Nice push at 2:28. Did you get any on ya? LOL
a little
Do the speaker covers on dash just pop off?
Yes but do not pry on them or you you crack the dash. Remove the glove box to get to the passenger side and reach way up from under the dash to get the driver side.
Do u have a complete 1978 cutlass 2 door car
+ThePolomanking Yes i have several.
I have a 1980 Olds Cutlass diesel and it has an aftermarket remote car starter that I want to take out. I can see the wires running right up behind the gauges but I really dont want to take apart the whole dashboard :(
+Brian Williams Its must likely spliced into the ignition wiring that is up by the steering column or they spliced into the wires near the starter but doubt that. There is nothing they would splice into behind the dash.
Thanks for the reply! Im currently taking apart the gauge cluster from the dash. I have an Auto column shift and theres a wire connected to the steering column for the parking position. Im still having trouble pulling it out its not budging still and the speedo hose isn't the problem I dont think
+Brian Williams The clip just pops off the column and then you pull the cluster out.
Thanks but I already took it out thanks
Hello do you sell all these G body parts and how do I contact you to purchase parts from you.
email me olds7980@yahoo.com
do you have a cutlass body for sale?
Yes email me olds7980@yahoo.com
Is this the same process for just removing the top cover of the dash?
The top cover comes off with a few screws for the regal and grand prix i believe.
+Classic G-Body Garage thanks a lot
Forgot to mention...a GoPro camera is excellent for makin videos and hvn both hands free. If u hv n't already gotten one by now.
How can I remove the dash speakers?
