67-68 Guru's help needed ???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PT'S 70 CST · 02-25-2011, 08:06 PM

I am restoring a 67 factory tach/speed warning dash for a board member and he is very adamant about keeping it as close to factory as possible. We are looking for a 67 dash bezel and his says at the top r-hand corner (wiper-washer) and under that (lights). On the other side is one hole and he is going back with a choke delete. All of the after market bezels that I have looked at only say (wiper) and not (wiper-washer). Does anyone know where to get the correct bezel that has (wiper-washer) or does anyone even repop one.

Thanks PT

67chevy1series · 02-25-2011, 08:09 PM

i have the 3 hole after market bezel and it says wiper washer

PT'S 70 CST · 02-25-2011, 10:21 PM

Where did you get it because I have looked at four places today and all four in the 67-68 version just say wiper.

Thanks PT

67chevy1series · 02-25-2011, 10:33 PM

well i got mine from www.truckandcarshop.com good guys me and my dada havent had a problem with them yet

PT'S 70 CST · 02-25-2011, 10:39 PM

I have never seen one with the light switch on the right hand side....my 67 has the 7hole bezel with the washer and lights on the left and choke on the right. I think Rick's bezel is the 3hole dummy light one...is that the kind you need??

PT'S 70 CST · 02-26-2011, 12:43 AM

The one I have has the wiper-washer and the lights on the left and the choke on the right. My problem is I looked today at several sites and all of the ones I saw had just wiper and not wiper-washer. All of the hole designs were correct it was just the lettering that was wrong. Here is a NOS one vs. the aftermarket one. I need the one like NOS one that has wiper-washer together.

PT

screamin_c10 · 02-26-2011, 01:06 AM

So if it helps any, my 67 has the original bezel and it states "WIPERS" as seen in the pic...

screamin_c10 · 02-26-2011, 01:08 AM

Also... I believe the NOS bezel you have pictured is incorrect for a '67 as the edges are chrome. I was under the impression that all '67 bezels were painted silver with the black background....I could very well be mistaken though....

clos69 · 02-26-2011, 01:17 AM

Yes mine also looks like the one screaming C10 has with the gray/silver edge....maybe the chrome ones are for 68??

PT'S 70 CST · 02-26-2011, 01:31 AM

Guys this one has me puzzled. The dash that I am working on is also painted and the circuit board states 67 but I have seen some 67 clusters ciruits state 66 on them. This is a speed warning/tach setup. The pic of the NOS one is one that I googled and found. I do not know maybe it was a late 67 build.

Its possible that the 67 circuit board was made for the 68 model....i was just looking thru the Patina thread and Posi12bolt posted his 68 truck he just purchased and has the wiper/washer bezel in chrome in one of the pics.

67chevy1series · 02-26-2011, 02:10 AM

i find it amazing how repo places can screw up everything just to save a couple bucks......america is just ''better, cheaper, faster''

basemodel67 · 02-26-2011, 02:30 AM

The bezel with the blank hole on the right corner is '68 only. The '68 trucks had either a Choke delete or had the choke installed with a tag that says "CHOKE", kinda like the tag on the manual throttles... At least that's what I have found in my travels, hope it helps.

PT'S 70 CST · 02-26-2011, 11:05 AM

Clos that is what I was suggesting on the board dates that I seen 66 boards on 67 clusters and 67 boards on 68 clusters. I have not built many 67-68 dash clusters and being it was a generation of a new truck in 67 I am willing to bet GM had a little trail and error. The dash I have the board member claims it to be a 67 but I think it is a 68. It has the choke delete.

yes in 67 everything had to be perfect for the new year and tuck so they couldnt have made many mistakes in the trucks

72MARIO · 02-27-2011, 12:04 AM

I have a 1968 suburban and my buddie has the exact same burban down to the blue and white color combo. My dash is chrome and has a dull horn cap. His dash is silver and has a shiney base model horn cap. neither has a Cst cap. I will have to look and see if it states wiper or wiper washer.

ubtripn · 02-27-2011, 01:43 AM

I am finally back after being gone for a family emergency. Anyway, I have a 68 that was originally owned by a fire department and still pretty stock. My Dash is the one that doesn't have the four gauges below just a big speedometer, a big gas gauge and turn signals in the middle. Anyway, it has 2 knobs on the left and a choke on the right and yes - it says wiper/washer. Don't know if this helps but I thought I would chime in.
