Re: Who makes the best gauge panels?

Well I bought a repo gauge panel cost $20. Can you tell the difference ...yes. they are never exact...but its close that no one looking will tell.. Fit was very good and the chrome trim seems to be very good. I like it no complaints. Have not bought any other interior parts because I didnt need them except a door armrest. I have been looking at them but if I replace one then the other wont match. so still looking for NOS. M2C

Re: Who makes the best gauge panels?

There's a guy on Ebay, georickparts. Thats who I got my bezel from. Great guy to deal with. He went out of his way to get it for me. He has complete guage panels for sale also. I would recommend him to anyone.

I use a more expencive MAde in USA bezel, chrome is much better and they fit better than the $25-30 one sold on ebay, remeber you get what you pay for... Randy

So back to the original question...
Who makes the Made in the USA bezel and where can they be purchased?

Re: Who makes the best gauge panels?

Our bezels are molded here in California and chromed & painted in Texas. 100% made in the USA. We don't have the cheapest price on them, but we do have the best quality.

Good deal Brothers. The more made in USA parts, the better. Sooner or later people will pay a little more for the good/right stuff.
