Reusing 72 chrome radio bezel?

Post by rjewkes »

My new old truck Came with a realy good looking radio bezel. is it wide enough to cut out the wholes for the knobs and put in a din or mini din radio? Like a cd/mp3/wma player?

If it's a really good looking one, don't trash it!

I was hoping to have a real nice looking bezel outside of my radio. One that matches my Deluxe heater/ac control bezel. It looks like it is already cut. couldn't realy tell as the am/fm turn knob style radio had it own cover to fit in there.

Speaking of witch the top control knob/slider tab is extra loose in a bad way. Can it be reconed?

the DIN stereo is a little bit bigger at the top but the bezel can be trimmed out to have it fit.
