73 dash bezel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jaysonb · 03-13-2017, 03:43 PM

The wood grain on the dash bezel of the 73 I'm working on is all tore up. When I look for an aftermarket bezel, it seems that there is none for 73, or 74? Anyone know what will work for this 73?

I believe the 75 through 77 bezels will fit 73 & 74. And so will the 78 through 80 bezels as long as you use the matching cover panel that fits below the steering column.

But there are few differences. For example, the 75+ bezels have a slightly wider rectangular opening for the windshield wiper switch. And the 75+ bezels no longer have the slightly raised up section surrounding the headlight switch knob and instead have a larger round hole. The appearance/styling also changed a bit, especially with the 78+ bezels.

E-bay maybe the place to look, if you want to keep it factory
