Default 1968, what years work?

I know the finish on a 1968 instrument bezel should be smooth, but I found one off a 72 that looks like it should work. My 68 is snapped at the entry of the airco vents on top. It's not real noticeable but it is killing me to see it. Someone should have been more careful.
What years will work?
Thanks,
Dave

There is an early and late 68. If memory serves the late 68 will exchange with 69-71. Then 72-76 is different. The cluster will bolt up, the big difference is the seatbelt override button. That is my recollection.

I have to agree with markdtn on this one. You need to find out if you have a early or late 68 bezel.
