Question 67-68 vs 69-72 GMC headlight bezels

Does anybody know the difference (if any) between headlight bezels from '67-'68 and '69-'72 GMC's? The new repop ones only claim to be correct for the later models.

I'm trying to find a chrome grill and bezel set for my '67 and am almost considering giving up on finding a nice used set and buying repro pieces, but I'd like to know what the differences are. Having my original bezels chromed is probably more expensive than just buying some.

The 67 and some 68 bezels don't have a dimple to adjust the headlights is all i know of. Most people wouldn't even know...

The 67-68 bezels are bigger that the 69-72.

The 67-68 screws directly to the fender on the outside edge.

If the photo shows up you can see the difference in the 67-68 bezel against a 69 grill.

So those are the little dents to access the adjuster screws? Hmm... I think that would be useful upgrade on a driver like mine. I just looked at my painted 67's and you guys are correct. No dimples on mine.
