insturment bezel compatibility

[rufusbooth]

I am trying to come up with a complete interior for my 73 jimmy. Given the state of the reproduction market I am going to have to use a mix of years to make something that will look halfway coherent.

I am trying to figure out if the bezels from LMC will fit in my dash.

Specifically, will a 78 - 80 bezel (brushed aluminum with AC) will fit in a 73 - 79 dash pad and instrument cluster (with AC)?

Given that the dash and bezel years overlap in 1979 I think they are compatible. Has any one tried this?

Cheers,

Rufus

I have one of the later bezels designed for the larger double-DIN stereos. The only thing I noticed that was non-standard about it was that one of the screw holes was slightly off by maybe 1/2". Other than that, everything lines up.

Beyond that, I'm not aware of any differences. Maybe someone else will chime in that knows better than me.
