The 77 center gauge bezel has "wings" to mate to the 68-77 dash. 78 dash was changed. Removing the "wings" makes it like 78-.
I changed to an 80s panel so the gauge openings would be same w/ 80s oil temp. gauge in place of clock. Looks factory.

See the little wing at the bottom edge. This was a filler to make up for different pad as mentioned above. The wings kind of just filled the void.
The dash bezel on the 78-82 cars did not have the wings but. . . . On cars with a clock from 1978-1982 the bezel was exactly the same except for those two wings and at one point years ago GM had the 78-82 bezel on back order but still has stock on the 77 bezel. We would order the 77 bezel and remove the wings.
Now GM . . . Well I guess we'll wait until tomorrow to see what about GM.
