Dash Bezel Headache - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I have a 74 GMC with a busted dash bezel. Not normally a huge deal, except the garbage aftermarket radio fell out when I was working on the electrical. Seems the PO just tossed the radio in there without any brackets, and broke the bezel in the install process.

I found a radio that will fit the OEM radio specs, and really want a clean bezel, not cut for an aftermarket radio. Seems like 73-74 were the special dash years, and a 84 I bought on eBay doesn't fit the dash properly (wiper cut out too small, lower bezel doesn't mesh). The only ones I can find are $200 through LMC - seems like way too much for this little project.

Anyone have any good fab ideas?
