Gauge Bezel

Does anyone know if anyone makes new aftermarket instrument bezels that have the chrome that goes all the way down in the holes around them?

I ordered one from Chevy Duty that was "black with silver trim" and it just had a thin silver paint ring around each of the holes. I called them back to see about exchanging it for one that is listed as "black with chrome trim" thinking that it would be what I was looking for, but the lady told me that it would only be a thin chrome ring around the outside of the hole. I really want one that has the chrome all the way down to the lens area.

Thanks,
Mike

yea, the dealer. I bought mine for about $109. The chrome goes down into the bezel holes. I can post a pic later if you want to see it.

Well, I called my local dealer today, and they said that the part was discontinued (my truck is a '76).

Any other thoughts?

I guess another question would be what all year models of bezel will actually work on my 76? I know that I need one that has the wiper control on the dash rather than on the column, but what other differences were there between the different years?
