For the guys that already paid, I will send you a refund check when I ship your part or I can reverse your paypal payment if you prefer.

Can we get the unpolished version.??? That looks really good..

How much for one radio din, and the heater control one shipped to 98272.

For unpolished they are $53 each +$7 ($5 for the first, $2 for the second) for shipping + $4 ($2 each) if you want to pay with paypal.

They are awesome indeed!!! I would like one to fit my heater A/C controller cut out as well in addition to the one that Duece has offered to me.

Very cool stuff!!

I will PM for details.

Count me in also for a set...I'm local so maybe we can work something out? I'll PM you. Awesome work...

On a side note, I'm new to the board and love it here. So much information and nice people. I just bought my 67 stepper 2 months ago and I'm eager to start on it!

I am going to order a batch of each part next week. For all the people that prepay before I place the order, the cost will be as previously posted...$53 unpolished and $67 polished. This includes the radio plate and the heater control bezel (each, not for both). After I place the order the cost will go back up $10 for each piece.

So its 53 for BOTH the bezel and the radio plate?? Or 53 each?

How is the one for putting an original radio back in coming along?

Once you get those I will definatly want one and the heater-a/c trim as well.

Hoping to have one cut next week, I'll send you pictures when I get it. Are you wanting it polished or natural looking? That piece is going to be more complicated to sand, prep and polish, but it's doable...

[original_balzer]

I can polish it to save you some work. That would be great.

Looking forward to the installed pics...hopefully before the 19th

I was hoping to get a minimum of 25 committed orders but that isn't going to happen so I'm going to front the rest and hope I can sell them. I'm going to order the batch of them on Wednesday. Hopefully I will get them in within a week or so

[AustinScott]

Should have a few more $$ in your account, cant wait to get them.
THanks

Here are some installed pics that everyone has been waiting for...thanks Andy for letting me use your truck!

The radio plate fit perfect and looked great! The pictures don't do it justice! (I didn't clean off my finger prints and smudges before taking the pictures)

The heater control bezel, however, doesn't look like it will work with 68-72 trucks because the key bezel is bigger than my 67 I used as a template. I'll try and see if I can mock it up on someone's 68-72 truck that has the key bezel installed just to make sure.

NICE! Since mine is a 67 the heater trim should work then?

This is why...

[mahanian]

Here is the heater control bezel in my 67...

[original_balzer]

[ChevLoRay]

Looks great!! Thanks for the pix, Jared.

I may be a complete f-tard, but have you considered machining a 1-piece joint that includes both ignition switch and lighter bezels (or delete if wanted)? I think that would be butt-hole tight and potentially solve the clearance issues on the 68-72 models.

Great looking product. Any chance that piece would be useable in any other classic gm vehicles? That might help you have more potential customers. I'm not familiar enough with other classics, but something for you to consider.

I thought about that, but since the ignition bezel and lighter bezel screw on, I have to put some thought into it.

I agree, I'm not getting much interest from the 67-72 crowd so I'm going to see what else it might fit
