HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!! Question about the differance in Rear trim

My body man just called me and he asked me this question. I put a 68 clip on my 70 Blazer and he is very close to paint. I had to buy all new 1968 trim for it. Everything came in except the rear tail light bezels (they are back ordered). He wants to get all the trim on and all holes drilled before he paints. This is the first time that I've used 1968 trim. QUESTION "Are the outside holes in the 1972 style tail light bezels the same as the 1968 tail light bezels??????????????" Thanks in advance

Sure seems like it would fit, just the holes for the 72 are bigger. If you want my cell number, pm me, might be faster

I have 68 tim to fit on it, so i used that as a template
