Dash / gauge bezel
« on: October 26, 2015, 07:26:28 pm »
I need a new dash bezel and I looked around at it says they are for 75+ trucks. Will these work on my 74? Who makes the best ones?

For the instrument cluster that is in front of the gauges?  75-up isn't the same.

73 and 74 are different due to the wiper switch hole size and fiber optic light for it. Uses a different switch.
Also the headlight knob is longer due to the protrusion on the bezel.

Salvage yard or donor is your only option that I know of

They come up on eBay but they are becoming pricey and not always in the greatest shape.
Also come in the a/c and non a/c version.

By a stroke of luck I found a guy who used to rechrome bezels who had 2 left for 73-74 w/ac. They look almost brand new! I picked one up for 149.
