Dash Bezels - Black/Chrome vs Black/Silver
Can anybody give me some idea on the differences between the 75-77 black/chrome and black/silver dash bezels that all the parts places seem to carry? Classic Industries has the best photos of each one (They appear to be different photos) but both of them look virtually the same. Is it just the chrome one is more reflective?
Nobody makes a repop 73-74 bezel do they? I've given up hope trying to find one ![]() |

Re: Dash Bezels - Black/Chrome vs Black/Silver
Its like you said. The chrome will have a reflective finish. The silver is basically just silver paint. I recently purchased one from classic industries and was not impressed. Mine was a non ac model. The "cubbies" were extremely thin plastic screwed to the back. I believe only like 2 screws actually lined up.

From the factory: all of the bezels were the same plastic molded part. The silver applique was added (at the part supplier) and used for Silverado (RPO YE9) equipped vehicles.
Interesting tidbit (to me anyway): the '64 -'67 Pontiac GTOs were done the same way. This would also allow you to "save" a damaged base part by putting the applique over the blemish and using it anyway. K

Uplevel was the above with the shiny metallic applique covering most of the black. K

Mine was the black with silver, but when I got it a lot of the silver was rubbed off. I got a silver paint marker at Hobby Lobby and easily re-applied silver paint and it came out looking brand new. Can't do that with the chrome.
