Best place to buy 3 hole 67-68 dash bezel
 
Going to redo my guages. My truck is a 68. Its 3 hole cluster with lights/wipers on the left. Can I get a bezel with grey edges, or just chrome? I plan on getting an extra 3 hole bezel from a 69-70 at the junkyard, and build it while I drive mine, then swap them over when I get finished.

So wheres the best/cheapest place to get my bezel from? And any tips/tricks or anything else I should order (just a driver truck).

I REALLY want the lights/wipers on the same side, but if they dont make it thats ok too

Thanks

No one repoduces the 67-68 in a 3-hole but you can buy a 69-72 3- hole I know Top Banana has them.

Top bannana has them for $40, not bad. May get a shirt too.

Will the 69+ bezel fit my 68 no problems? You wouldnt know of any promotional codes either right off would you.. :) I have ordered alot of patch pannels from you guys in the past... :)

are you gonna try to drill the hole out? i'm sure you could do it SLOWLY just a thought it woundn't have the wording above the hole thought (assuming it does on a stock one)

oldblue1968chevy 01-08-2011 01:39 PM

Re: Best place to buy 3 hole 67-68 dash bezel

Ok, Hey rick how do I get the light knob off?

67chevy1series 01-08-2011 06:07 PM

Re: Best place to buy 3 hole 67-68 dash bezel
 
i would just pull it you ight have to turn it and then pull it because the shaft is at the end of the knob

To get the light shaft out, reach around the back and there should be some sort of push button on top of switch assembly. Once it's pressed hard enough you should be able to pull the light switch knob out. It's takes a little more effort than you think, just keep working with it. Make sure your battery's disconnected or your lights may be on for as long as you have the shaft out.

Re: Best place to buy 3 hole 67-68 dash bezel
 
you will probably have to turn and pull at the same time
