1965 Chevy Pickup

Hey all. New to this site so I'm sorry if I ask a question that's already answered somewhere else on this site.

Does anyone know where to purchase aluminum bezels for the headlights. I purchased an aluminum grill several years back and all I haven't been able to find anything but chrome.

Re: 1965 Chevy Pickup

Good Luck and just keep searching. You could try e bay. You may want to just run the chrome ones untill you find some aluminum ones.

Re: 1965 Chevy Pickup

Welcome to the forum

A lot of us would like to find a source for new aluminum headlight bezels. We'll just have to keep searching for good used ones.

Re: 1965 Chevy Pickup

Aluminum ones are not made. I watch e bay and have been able to get a couple of sets. Most of the time you get a good one with a bad one. These things are so soft and they get beat up so easily.

Re: 1965 Chevy Pickup

Thanks guys. I was concerned about the difference in appearance between the aluminum and chrome. Afraid the difference would stand out. Sounds like I either keep searching or go with the chrome.

My truck isn't a show truck, I painted steel bezels with a silver metallic, they are hard to notice.
