73-74 Woodgrain guage bezel resto ?

I've pretty much decided to restore my 73 back to the Cheyenne Super model and I have about everything interior wize figured out but that old woody peckered dash cluster bezel. How or who do you go to to correctly restore a 73-74 woodgrain dash bezel right down to the correct woodgraining and shiney chrome bezels?

I know I could strip it down and have the bare dash "plastic chrome plated" and then go to the painting route but the corrrect woodgraining process haunts me.

Somewhere there must be an NOS gage bezel just wanting a new home to match my NOS door panels or I am seriously thinking of making it a Cheyenne model and leave it black! Thanks, Mark

It's from Truck and Car shop...go to page 43 and that's where it is...it's the 75-77 wood grain...I don't know the difference with the 73-74 but it might work.....might want to check on that though...
