dash bezel
 

I am restoring a '68 without gauges that has manual choke. Have seen lots of new bezels, but none with my combination. Looking for new, or like new piece. Could anybody please help?

They make a 69-72 style without the guages but no 67-68 with the choke hole. I don't know why but if I find a nice used I will let you know.

Maybe you can just drill a hole in your old one there should be a circle on the back where it goes

Thanks to both of you for input, would appreciate it if you do find something. I do have the original bezel, and it is not damaged just worn (chrome is thin). Is it possible to re-chrome instead of replacing? thanks again!

I know Ed @ Mothertruckers did know of a place in Ohio(I think) that did rechrome them.

Thanks, I will give him a call.

All the original 67 I have seen are just painted gray It wouldnt cost much to repaint it. There is place here that recromes parts I dont think its cheep it mite cost more then buying a new one I can ask if you want

That would be great, or if you have information, I would be more than happy to call myself. I have seen several pictures of the 67's that were painted, and if all else fails, that is what I will do. Really hoping for some chrome, since rest of interior is stock.
Thanks for your help!

I guess I've never really looked too close, but the LMC catalog does show a non-gauge 69-72 bezel, part #38-8016, and lists the application as 67-72. Someone should really call them on that. I'll check with my guy today and see what he can come up with. I have also heard that there are some outfits out there that can rechrome but heard it is pricey.

there is a place in texas (not in Lone Oak, tx) that did some plastic plating for us - it was an excellent job but super expensive

2 plastic LTI engine wiring covers = 400.00

If you are still interested I can get you thier number

Hey! Be careful drilling out the hole if you modify a new bezel. I drilled out the hole marked with a circle on the back on mine for the rear air (Suburban) and it didn't line up with the hole in the dash. Yikes!
Measure twice, cut once, I didn't.

Thanks for information. Sounds like re-chroming might be alot of money. I might just swich to gauges, which would make a little more work, but I would rather have anyway. Oh well, what is a little more work when you have been looking at a bare frame and a pile of parts for 6 months anyway!

This is the style that you are looking for right? Except you want something in excellent condition with chrome?

neither one is correct. Mine looks like the one he found on e-bay, only it has wiper and light switch on left and choke on right. I have made arrangements to buy a gauge cluster, found info. to switch wiring in dash harness on another post here, tech tips at GMC Paul's. Now all I need is to find out what I have to change on my harness under the hood. thanks for trying to help though.
