I'm bookmarking this one and ordering all 3 when available. I hate my cut stock bezel to mount the radio in and the dome lamp bezel is just too dang cool. And top it off with a ashtray pull. I like!

Jamie are you still making the dome light bezels? I might need two more. A Ford man that I work with is interested and my neighbor with the 69 CS is going to get one whether he likes it or not.

Dang Nate, you might as well become a retailer... I have a good many made up, I just need to polish the bezels. Sending out seven today (one of which is yours) to private guys and another nine for retail.

I need to start another batch, which is a good thing.

Jeepermc,
I've drawn up the ash tray pull and have just been thinking about the bezel. I'll need to get a spool gun and aluminum setup for the welder to fab the parts for machine work. I figure late summer for the bezels, the ash tray pull is just difficult to hold to do the machine work. It's a bunch of steps for such a simple part...

I've been pushing hard to get the cab done so I can get the truck out of the garage and the mill in.

Oh well, I'm off to polish parts.

Cool Jamie.... I have a cut stock bezel in my truck now with a regular old CD player and I absolutely hate it.... I love the CD player but I hate the way it fits. I really like the idea of a machined aluminum bezel.... And like I said , the dome light bezel just rocks!

'BTW $50.00'

who'd you send the other $24 to?

The parts are turning out better with experience. I have one of each generation and you can see a difference.

No No No, it just means you have an authentic original hand crafted version....

The newer ones are production based every one looks like the other mirror images... More or less.
