Looking for a complete 1961 lower dash that includes speedometer, gear selector indicator, a/c (or non a/c) selectors, glove box, ashtrays etc. My goal would be to restore it outside of the car and when completed swap mine out! Thanks in advance!

From that description you want the entire cross car beam with the components hanging on it.

I removed mine complete. Other then disconnecting electrical and control cables it comes out whole.  But it is a chore.

Looks like as removed if attempting in one piece.

This is great information, thank you! If I found one without the bracing and support brackets that would be A okay with me  8)

Without the brackets it is just a pile of parts. Might be easier to find someone who has a parts car and has the complete assembly in place. I have already robbed a lot of this off of my parts car.

I think i'll have to go down that road as well! Thanks for sharing all of the photos. I'll take a page out of your book and try to be as organized as possible. I dont have that much room in my garage  ;D
