Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
63 bezels are like needles in a haystack. Steel is easier to find than the aluminum bezels.....but have you considered the chrome repops? You can always sand the finish down and paint.

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
Yes, I know they are hard to find . Thought I'd give it a try , you never know. The chrome repops are 40-50 bucks plus shipping but I'm sure that's what I'll end up doing. Unless someone out there has a set they don't need..........

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
I just picked up a '63 parts truck. I'm not sure if it has what you need, but here is the thread with some pics:

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
Do they hold the headlight in or are they just trim? I don't mind selling them but I'm going to get it back behind my shop before I start making it look too much like a carcass.

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
They are the larger decorative trim rings. There are smaller chrome rings that actually hold the headlight in the bucket. I'm looking for the larger rings that go around the outside of the headlight and are screwed into the grille using 3 screws. Thank you for taking a look. Let me know if they are for sale
Cool truck by the way, nice find |

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
I will take them off and get you some pics. I looked at them a little bit ago and it looks like they have about 8000 coats of paint but no apparent dents or rust. I wouldn't have the slightest idea what these are worth. $30 shipped for the pair if you are satisfied with condition?

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
I did not see the option to send attachments in a PM so I'm doing it here. Looks like they should clean up nicely with some sanding and paint, no dents or rust I can see. Three original screws, the other side had wood screws.

Re: WTB 1963 grille bezels
Hey doobiebro , the mounting assemblies you sold me are great. Thanks to you and jdl71 I now have all the parts for my 1963 grille. Im sending it out to get media blasted and then it will be painted white. What a great resource this is where strangers go out of Their way to help each other work on their projects. Thanks again to both of you
