Brother's Gauge Bezels

I saw in a "newspaper type" ad that I got from Brother's Truck Parts yesterday that they have black/chrome gauge bezels for $39.95 which seemed like a very good deal to me. What do you guys think? Good deal, bad deal. Anyone know how good of quality these are?

Saw them at the "TRUCK STOP" at the Pomona Swap meet last month for 25.00. I'll check them out better on 10-13. Don't know if they are a supplier on this site or not, but they have a huge catalog.

I hope to be going out there soon, when I do I'll let you know. Just so all you fella's know.... "Classic GM Sport" which is also in the same area, and listed on the resource page under parts at the bottom, no longer exists. They have been out of business for several years, and their old warehouse is now used for chemicals. kind of a big disappointment after struggling through Burbank traffic. TJ

I looked through all of my catalogs and the only place with them for that price is GMCPaul. So I am not sure who I will go with. GMCPaul has worked well in the past but I am willing to try new places and Brothers seems like a good outfit.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that there is only one manufacturer of those bezels in the known world. If you can get a good price on them....go for it. Probably exactly the same part at every distributor.

I got the same ad. I live in SoCal and will be heading by Brothers to pick up that bezel along with some other parts. I have bought many parts from them and have had great luck with them. I prefer them over any of the parts companies. I have ordered parts from LMC and Golden State and had problems with them, so I ordered from Brothers and liked them ever since.
