Mutt's37Buick Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 <!-- google_ad_section_end -->I'm looking for a replacement dash for a 1937 model 81 Buick Roadmaster.Does anyone know if the sheetmetal on the on 1937 Buick series 40, 60, 80, and 90 are dimensionally the same?(I know that the sheetmetal dash 1937 Buicks are welded in).ThanksMutt<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Suspect series 40 - 60 are the same and 80 - 90 are the sameAre they welded in ? For 1939's they are not welded in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Earl Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 They weren't welded in place in 1941 either. But they did use a really sticky tape along the edge where the dash met the cowl and I had a heck of a time getting mine loose on account of that stuff. I was beginning to think I had missed some screws and finally figured out what the problem was. Good luck with that dash of yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Hanning Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The '37 series 40 dash is bolted at each side, you need to open the doors to expose the bolt heads. Mike Hanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt's37Buick Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for the feedback.I have not tried to remove the dash yet. Thought I read they were welded in, perhaps that was misinformation.1) Can someone confirm that the dash was not welded in on a 37 Buick Series 80?2) Could anyone who has a 40, 60 or 90 series measure the overall width of the dash for me (where dash meets wall). I'll measure and post the width of the 80 series in case that info is helpful to someone else.ThanksMutt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) From the 1928 - 1941 parts book 1937 Series 80 & 90 have the same Cowl and dash assembly Group 12.803 part 4077449. [Cost was $77.00 in 1941] There is an image in the book (I have no scanner just now).Surprisingly 1937 Series 40 & 60 each have a different part numbers. May just be trim - molding.For 1939 Series 40 & 60 bodies are the same. Reasonably sure for 1939 Series 80 & 90 bodies are the essentially the same. 1937-1938- 1939 Series 80 & 90 bodies are very similar: same roundish shape and 2 back windowsAs the other thread try Dave Tacheny (he should give me a discount as I refer him so often) Area number is 763 now, not 612The Largest Vintage Buick gallery on the web - PreWarBuick.comThe best man on planet Earth for late '30s Buick parts is Dave Tacheny.

37_Roadmaster_C Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Mutt,+1 on contacting Dave. I contacted him about a bumper and engine for my 37 80 convertable and he was more than helpful. He sent the bumper immediately and delivered the engine to Washington State for less than truck freight (now he was heading west for other things, but what helpful service).Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
