It seems that when the designers added the tilt steering wheel in 74 they added some braces that make it difficult/impossible to get the speedo in or out without pulling out the whole wooden cluster surround.I've read all the posts on removing the speedo and when I still couldn't get it back in no way no how I checked out my 71 and 70 parts cars and sure enough there are differences behind the gauges between the earlier and later models.Anyone who has done this on a 74 have any tips?I REALLY don't wanna pull that surround out again as it was not a happy scene getting it in! Good news is that it's finally above freezing here in Pennsy so dash vinyl might not be so stiff(working in unheated garage)
