look on e-bay, the last one i bought cost about 30.00.

Longhorn Man · 02-07-2004, 09:01 PM

Rick's has it for 25 bucks. I have bought 4 or so and they are very close to 100% perfect.

We sell made in USA dash bezels.

nu2-72 · 02-08-2004, 01:49 PM

I would also like to know something on this. I received a new bezel with my tach dash. The original GM has about 6 small strips of 1/4" rubber cushions between the bezel and lens. These would not fit into the new bezel. If I used them, the lens sat 1/4" away from the bezel. The bezel was not formed deep enough around the lower gauges.
Who makes the correct bezel to use these pieces without modification?

Longhorn Man · 02-08-2004, 05:02 PM

nu2-72, who did you get your bezel from?

nu2-72 · 02-08-2004, 07:35 PM

Good question. Came with the dash.
Dash came from an individual. ( Knew you would ask that next.)

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 02-08-2004, 08:06 PM

Ours are correct not Taiwan ill fitting junk.

03glide · 02-08-2004, 08:17 PM

MOTHERTRUCKERS. What is the price of your black and chrome bezel?

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 02-08-2004, 09:45 PM

Its in our online catalog in the Interior Section.

mtdave2 · 02-09-2004, 01:21 AM

are all these the same quality? strange how there could be a $25 differance. i need a very good one, 100% as the oem

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 02-09-2004, 09:02 AM

We have installed ours in our customers trucks with no problems. I think the 100% money back including shipping speaks for the quality of them.

J.Lance · 02-09-2004, 02:15 PM

I'm going to back up MOTHERTRUCKERS on this one. Buy made in the USA. I usually spend about $60 and it is worth it. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for! Problem with ebay is a lot of times the seller doesn't specify. Dealers can get the Taiwan versions for about $15 so they're happy to sell for $30!

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 02-09-2004, 11:00 PM

We wre approched by a company to sell their bezels and they sent 2 to try out, I could not get them to fit at all, 1 screw hole was way off.

why is the 67-68 instrument bezel more than the 69-72. i dont like that i wish i could get one for my truck for $25

Lukeinferno · 02-10-2004, 08:04 PM

The 67-68 dash instruments set up had 2 knobs on the left. The 69-72 had more options for gauges and had only 2 knobs all together.

krazy_texan · 02-10-2004, 11:59 PM

i know i am just joking about that i do think it is odd though that you have to pay $20 extra for an extra hole because all the gauge bezels are interchangable.
