Some are good and some have a tooling mark right at the bottom of the circle where the stock gas gauge goes....looks like crap.

I have bought quite a few of them. Always a good fit, and look good.

I have only seen the good ones. The only issue with these bezels is on the back side. Do not go by the targets they cast in if you need to drill another hole. They are not in the same place as the originals. This is only important is you have a 67-68 truck or a burb with rear A/C.

Not sure who made the bezel but when I re-built my 4x4 and installed the factory tach I got my bezel from: Classic Chevrolet Parts, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Caught it on sale, standard bezel, black and chrome face, everything dropped in like it was made for it. Really pleased, not sure about all re-pops but this one fit like a glove. Hope you have the same luck.
Their website is www.classicchevroletparts.com
