Default Do you need...
Do you need the center bezel section that has the wiper controls in it, 68 had two versions.

does that mean you want to sell it? I can PM an offer if you are willing to sell. Most upgrade to modern materials since it is under the carpet.

I may be confused but I don't remember 2 versions. My car has A/C and radio. My guage bezel is cracked on one side. It may be repairable but never 100% again. I have the wiper switch and A/C parts.

The two are with or without factory air.

Some have one screw hole for the air duct and later one's have two holes in them to hold the non A/C duct. I don't know about one's with A/C. Lou.

I have factory air in a May '68 build. I don't remember if there are one or two screw holes. I am not near my car right now to check. However, the reproduction bezel worked okay.

Gents, 68 with factory air did not have the fresh air vent the non-air cars had. No need to fret over one hole or two if you have factory air.

Agree.

OP, be careful with the AC bezel. It is separate from the gauge bezel and not reproduced. VERY expensive and hard to find if you break it.

Well I don't know if you remember but I may have one left, need to find it, we talked about it in past emails.

Also I have the smooth bezel but for an early 68 and if you have an early 68 then that is the item.
Thanks, grant
