input on new dash bezels
 
I'm in the market for a new dash bezel, with A/C, brushed aluminum look, for my 1979 GMC. Can anyone comment on new dash bezels they recently purchased and liked the quality? I reached out to USA1 Industries but they can't get them right now. I see Classic Industries and Cheyenne Pickup Parts offer these.

I got mine from LMC. I had the brushed aluminum overlay, but I never installed it. I liked the way it looks now. And no, I already sold the overlay several years ago.
And the fit is perfect!

TKCR - so I understand, you had a bushed aluminum but replaced it with a black one from LMR and it fits perfect and you like it.

The brushed aluminum is just an overlay onto the black Bezel. They are 2 separate pieces. My original was the brushed overlay. So when I bought a new one, I got both, to do the overlay. But I liked it better plain black. So I never used the brushed overlay. You have to glue them on in place.

I bought the brushed overlay version from Classic Industries about 5 years ago for my '78. I thought it was decent quality. Not as nice as original, but as good as you can expect these days.

Pano. so you bought a new bezel and ordered the Brushed Alum. to go with it. I really like your all black I wonder if I can just order the new black with out the brushed. But I want the smooth finish like you have. Not sure I can buy only the bezel without the inlays with the nice chrome outer rings. I am going to check..

That was me, not Pano. LMC, #4 & #5 is what I got. But I didn’t use the overlay.
