I ordered a dash pad and got the front portion of it. The one I took off was completely covered with vinyl and padding so I asked the company I bought from and they said the dash came in 2 parts. The front which was padded and the part the goes against the window was metal and just painted. Does that sound right?

Correct, i think the 63 canadian cars had padding right up to the windshield glass, i think you got a USA pontiac pad instead.
I was looking at a USA 64 today and it has the 1/2 padded, 1/2 steel
Hey, i just realized you are the one that bought my buddy Norms 63 pontiac 4dr HT, 283 car
It just has noisy lifters and needs a valve adjustment, i remember hearing it run a few years ago, tap tap tap, but mechanicly A-ok from what i remember.
It wont have valve problems as you were discussing earlier, just adjustments, etc, etc. there should not be any need to pull the cylinder heads off.

As I understand it,ALL 64 Canadian fullsize came with a padded dash top.
BOTH of my Parisiennes came with the full pad.
I've had 2 64 Laurentian 4 dr posts.
One came with the full pad & one with the short one.
My guess is that Parisiennes came standard with the full pad & it was optional on other models....
