I am restoring a early 68 and have done extensive searches a d never found any bezels other than used. In my case being a October 67 build in need the smaller ones. The size changed 3 time for the 68 model year.

I have a 67 Oct build as well and the passenger side one is the one that always seems to crack. I have 3 bezels, 2 are the passenger side and both are cracked. I found mine on EBAY, just keep your eyes open and you can find them. They are alot nicer than the plastic ones.

I know this has probably been asked before,but...I too have a 68 with an Oct build date. Does anyone know the sizes of the different size headlight covers that were used during the 68 run? I keep hearing of different sizes but how to tell which are early/mid/late?

Edit to add
For you 68 guys reading this, there was 3 different headlight doors and 3 different bezels, probably all with tthe same number. I have seen the same number casted differently.

you can see the gap on the sides of the bezels. Heres a good list of changes
