A 3 hole Gauge Bezel with a choke? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't seem to find any repro gauge bezels that are for trucks without the optional gauges, and HAVE a hole for the choke cable.
For example this one from classic heartbeat is what I want, but doesn't have a hole for a choke, only wipers & lights..

Anyone know who sells repro bezels that are for choke equipped trucks and don't have the optional gauges.

I think ya have to drill the holes, they have a solid spot for each accessory you need on the back side.

They sell the bezels that have a choke hole, but it has all the extra gauges, but I need one w/o the extra gauges.

By Accessories I meant Headlight switch, Wipers, Choke.

The stock ones have the accessory holes labeled, and I'm looking for a repro or possibly one I could fix up, otherwise I'll just have to paint mine black. I was trying to get one with the chrome edges.

I don't think you will find one with chrome edges for 67-68. Those had silver edges. You could ask wes at classicheartbeat and see for sure. He may even have a used on for you. Eric

Alright, I'll shoot him a PM in awhile.

Not all had the hole labelled, The cluster in my 68 has the add on tab located behind the small chrome retainer ring. If you get one of Wes' you can drill the hole and search for the tab and be good.
