I have a 74 K5 and I'm need of a woodgrain dash Bezel with A/C
If anyone has one or a lead on one I'd greatly appreciate the help.
 
I have this one. It is usable but far from perfect. I also expect shipping to cost way more than it is worth.

I think that is a later bezel, my understanding is 73/74 is specific.
See the phot of my non AC bezel, the light and wiper switch area is a little different, thank you anyway for offering your bezel.

That is correct, for some reason I read that as you needed a 75 bezel when I was just waking up this morning. The later models opened up that hole and shortened the light switch pull knob to make it easier to pull the bezel but the parts are interchangeable.
 
Those are hard to find. I’m looking for one too. I know they make an aftermart 73-74 bezel and someone makes a wood grain insert for it. It doesn’t look bad. Just like to see it in person.

I bought both. The bezel is spot on. The wood grain was really close. It doesn’t have the little section that goes across the steering column. Both are better than trying to find a good usable original. The cost is in line too.


 
The wood grain changes pattern in 75.
73-74 is more like the aftermarket overlay one shown.
Not exact but close.
73-74 bezel is 100% specific around the wiper switch and the wood grain is straight as seen in the 2 pics.
 
I think I have seen some with a hole for the choke too. Those 1973-74 ones were hard to find 13 years ago.
 
If your non A/C bezel is in good shape, maybe you can convert it with Vintage Air parts.
 
My bezel is in great shape, I was going to install a factory AC system that I have instead of Vintage Air.
 
The Vintage Air kit for non-A/C blazers just converts your existing bezel. They should have the parts to convert your bezel.
