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.

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

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...

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

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.
