Tailgate bezel help
Need a little help designing a new tailgate bezel for our Suburbans. Can anyone measure how thick the bezel for the push button tailgate, liftgate button is? I want to try and reproduce one from aluminum that will be engraved with the word "suburban" or "chevrolet? Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Tailgate bezel help
I have one that I can send you that you can use if that will help. Just cut me a good deal on one of the ones you make.

Re: Tailgate bezel help
It's diameter is 2 1/2, and at it's thickest point it's roughly 5/8. Hope this helps. I'd definately be interested in what you a describing.

Thanks for all the help guys, I'll post a picture as soon as I have one complete. What do you think would be more appropriate, "Suburban" or "Chevrolet" engraved on the face?

Re: Tailgate bezel help
It's a toss-up for me... But leaning towards suburban.
I keep toying with the idea of grafting-in the stamped "CHEVROLET" from a truck tailgate on my lower hatch, so if it was on the bezel too, it would be over-kill for me. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Tailgate bezel help

Re: Tailgate bezel help
Anybody have an email for Greg? Or his shop name/number? I see he doesn't visit this site that often and I would love to buy one of those bezels off him. He does some awesome work. I would think this would be a very popular little custom item for our Burbs....

Re: Tailgate bezel help
I'm interested, assuming the price is reasonable.
Food for thought, not all Suburbans are Chevys. You may consider coming up with a GMC version of the bezel as well. Either way nice job! |
