Does this bezel exist?
I did a cab swap from an '81 to an '85. I have this bezel which I picked up years ago, it's for an '81 to '83. Now with the '85 cab I need the same one but with the headlight switch in the correct spot. Have searched all of Craigslist, ebay, LMC etc, and only find them with the chrome trim around the gauges. Does this bezel exist for '84 and up that anyone has seen with just the painted silver trim?

If you one in the less trim model there should be out there. Or you get one nice and take off the thin metal chrome then look like that. I hope this helps you.

I got my new one from LMC. It has the shiny chrome rings, but I really like it. I had also bought the aluminum overlay, but I never used it, because I really liked how the bezel looked. I say get a new one and try it out. If you really hate the shiny rings, send it back.

If you or someone you know has a steady hand, get a plain bezel and paint the rings whatever color you like.

Thanks for the replies. That chrome one does look good, I'm just trying to keep it original to what I had in there before the cab swap, just for nostalgia purposes. I've had this truck since I was 14, almost 30 years, and I'm finishing its second frame off resto in it's life.
