Blank stock style gauge bezel?

I would like to find a "blank" dash panel for our trucks. What I mean by that is it would look like a stock bezel as far as the black plastic with the chrome style trim around it along with the cutout for the steering column and lights/wipers. Otherwise it would just be a clean black center area so I could cut holes and place custom gauges where I wanted. Does something like that exist? It might look crappy, I'm having trouble visualizing it, that's one reason why I'm asking.

My other option is the glove-box-door-bezel approach which I have thought about, but I like the idea of it being black and chrome like the originals.

I know you asked about the factory bezzel but I did a little variation of it. I had a panel cut out and epoxied it to a factory bezzel. That way I did not have a big gauge in the middle.
I used traditional series gauges and added a dual needle air gauge for my bags that is very similar but with a white face.

Re: Blank stock style gauge bezel?

That looks pretty nice! I thought about trying to make my own laminant similar to what he did but never thought I could get it straight enough. I guess he had it laser cut or something. It looks strait as an arrow. Thanks for the heads up. Any vendors want to start having something like this made. Hint Hint...
