So where does my van fit into this theory?

Its an '87 non-GL with a padded dash (brown).

Thanks,

Tim

the only dash difference would be the early or NON-GL dash vs the late ('85
up GL) or padded dash.. which really wouldnt be an issue since '90-'91 US
spec NON-GL's had the "early" NON-GL non-padded dash anyway. transporters
never had the GL padded dash any year. (except maybe the fancy tri-star?)

basically we are looking at a instrument cluster swap to convert from
Canadian specs to US specs and thats pretty much it.

since most new US vehicles have DRL's the 90-91 canadian DRL vanagons
wouldnt be a issue..
