Only I would think of something like this.

I dispise the 90-93 heater controls. One big negative about my black interior swap is that I needed to run them.

Well, do I? It looks like with a little trimming you could fit the larger 87-89 controls in place in a 90-93 dash. Anyone ever try?

I'm hesitant to start cutting up my dash until I could confirm. I could always do a test on my spare black dash.

Here's my original porno red '88 dash.

And here's my spare 90-93 dash

It does look like I can trim and get this in there

The two bottom screw location almost line up. I think I could remove the brass retainers, drill 4 holes and install some speed clips and it would work. Problem is I need it to align with the bezel that slips over it.

Just thinking out loud here. Prob will never try it.
 
I'm also OCD. If I mess it up, I will swap out the dash. I also hate hacking stuff

Bro, you have front calipers on your car that say Corvette on them. If thats not a hack, I dont know what is! I bet you would make it look as factory as Ford did, and be glad you went out on a limb when its all said and done.

And whats another dash swap anyway? ;)
