I know really old thread but thought I would share pics of other bezel types for reference.

The one notsolo pictured is the one currently reproduced for the 67-68 models with gauges.

One of the ones not reproduced that I have on my 68 is this one. Chrome bezel from the Z62 Custom C & C equipment package and the CST package when equipped with a divorced choke carburetor from the factory.

The bezel has no raised platform with the embossed CHOKE lettering on it but the hole is there in the bezel. The hole was filled with a slightly rectangular chrome emblem with GM in the center. It has textured black paint in the center around the letters inboard of the raised chrome perimeter frame.

The emblem is the same width as the raised platform with the embossed CHOKE lettering that would normally be there and looks like it could cover the area if the raised platform were ground off. Haven't done this to see if it would work or not but might have to in order to put a new bezel into my 68 as the emblem sits flat against the bezel with no relief in the back side for any chance of it covering the CHOKE embossment intact.
