Has anyone seen these or have these? The prices seem pretty good and It could be a nice change from stock look.

They sure are diffrent.I kind of like the red one.

Dean23 · 02-06-2003, 06:22 PM

In my opinion the term "ACCK PHOOEY" comes to mind

**John Fabris** · 02-06-2003, 07:12 PM

I have seen these at a GoodGuys swap meet. the quality seem fine, comparable to the new chrome ones in my opinion...

bouncytruck · 02-06-2003, 07:24 PM

John, what do they look like in person? Are they "ACCK PHOOEY" like Dean23 said or do they look cool?

**John Fabris** · 02-06-2003, 07:31 PM

the colors really grab you as you walk by. I thought they were cool looking and they do have a clean consistent finish. The quality of the finish is very good. They do not look like crap. For the type of look that I want with my 67 and my 71, these would not do. Overall, it is a new look and a cool idea for someone who wants that style of interior.

Boardrider52 · 02-06-2003, 08:02 PM

junkyardjohn · 02-06-2003, 08:16 PM

RICK MILLER WAS HAVING THOSE MADE. I SAW THEM AT THE "HOT AUGUST NITE" SWAPMEET IN RENO NV. I THOUGHT THEY LOOKED REALLY NICE, & RICKS A REALLY GOOD PERSON TO DEAL WITH. HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS RKMILLER@INFOWEST.COM

bouncytruck · 02-06-2003, 08:26 PM

Boardrider52, I didn't see an orange one. here is a link to the ebay page for that dealer. His ebay name is "georickparts" & since it says rick in the name, I bet that junkyardjohn is right. You could try e-mailing him direct to see if he makes an orange one.

YUP!! Rick would be the guy that I saw here in California that had them.

Bouncy,

When I bought my truck the bezel around the gauges is/was turcuoise just like the rest of the truck, I thought it was stock, the crome is pitted and the paint is chipping but I think it lookes better than a black one. It is not anadized but I think that makes it look better. Here is the only pic I have but you can kinda see it.

Reumster · 02-06-2003, 09:44 PM

I like the blue one. But wouldn't ever put it in my blazer unless I had a glove box to match. It'd look out of balance unless the glove box was same color.

*Shane* · 02-06-2003, 11:37 PM

you can accomplish the same results with "candy" style paint ... which is available at most hobby shops in smaller cans ... the candy paint is a clear paint with different shades of colors mixed in to tint it ...

The bezels are plastic ... which can't be anodized ... they are either painted or dyed.

*racedvl* · 02-06-2003, 11:49 PM

The colored bezel in that last picture was a GMC thing. Chevy used all black.

my new 72 · 02-07-2003, 12:18 AM

Those are not anodized, 67cst is correst, anodizing is a process used on metal. That effect is gotten by using a hobby paint that mimicks the look. You or I can do it for about $7 in paint and the old used bezel we already have.
