Re: dash bezel

You're welcome. The 81+ bezels leave a rather ugly looking gap when mated up to the earlier year dash pads. So staying with the year-correct dash pad for your 78 pretty much rules out using an 84-87 bezel to eliminate the wiper switch hole.

Probably the best thing to do (in my opinion) would be to also stay with the year-correct 78-80 style dash bezel and find an alternative use for the wiper switch opening. For example, you could make a flat block-off plate that would attach to the dash using the holes that originally held the wiper switch. That plate could be left blank, or used as a convenient spot to add a switch for fog/driving lights or other accessories.
