does anyone have a picture of the proper bezel for climate controls (non ac) for a 68 'custom'
someone hand painted mine black. i have seen a few iterations but would like the most period correct.

thanks.

Is this what you are talking about? This is in a 1969 c/10 but I believe they are all the same for 67-72

Ive seen both black and the kind pictured above in 68s i gues it depends on prod. # and which plant

Here's a link to an old for sale thread with a picture that indicates 67 and 68 controls were different from 69-72. I also read in another thread that the 67/68 controls had a different face.

this helps a lot. thanks guys. I thought maybe it was the p.o's preference to paint it black and was supposed to be chrome. so it may have been correct but a poor paint job. I like the vertical ribbed silver as well. did they ever come all polished or chrome?
