Dash bezel swap from a 89-92 to a 93/94

[Johnnyqm]

Would a wood dash bezel from a first generation facelight (89-92) fit in a 93/94? I like the wood/pinstripe option of the pre 93 dashes. The interior of the 93/94 is extremely similar to the 89-92 but I know they changed the whole body of the 93/94 so not sure if it would fit.

First generation Rangers are 1982 to 1988.

I thought the 88 revision was body and interior and not considered a generational shift until 93. Might be wrong.

Around here, we consider GenI 83-88, GenII 89-92, Gen III 93-97.


Yes, the bezel will fit. You’ll find some slight differences...
Under the headlight switch, some have a pocket, some have a block off plate, some are molded with “steps for switches.

Depending on the year and model, some radios mount in the dash, some mount to the bezel.

I put a 92 bezel in my 93, I had to block the opening below the headlight switch and rework the radio opening. The 92 radio slot is a little too narrow and too tall. It wasn't a big deal.
