I have one or two of the housings for the guages (guage bezel)....not the complete plastic part all the way across. These are for floor shift cars as they have the blanked-out/filled-in area where the gear indicator window would be on a column shift auto.

RRoth are you needing one for yourself or just to work on?
Pat are you looking for colors?
If so you can get the silver and black paint from crappy tire a perfect color match
I will have to look up the paint codes though..

I am close to having a sellable dash available
.I have a plater here in Detroit ,he strips them for me ,I take them back and make the repairs.The mounting ears on the ends are almost impossible to fix.I have made templates and still havent had much success.
I take every nut and screw off soak them in acetone .run them through the tumbler to knock off all of the rust and scale.
After they are Replated I have had great results with Duplicolor Acrylic Enamel.
Semi Gloss Black and Aluminum,that is the right paint for the job.Dries quick and adheres to the clear coated plating.
I blast the metal on the gauge bezels Repaint them with the Semi gloss Black and the backs with a light blue enamel.I have the numbers stripped from the lense face.And have perfected a way to repint the numbers temps and polish them to a brand new finish.
I had a very bad experience with a company that ripped me off so bad I decided to start up a small service by myself.I will eventually pick one out for my car .I currently have 4 IPs and 7 or 8 gauge bezels ready for detailing.

I did mine on my 67 and it came out quite nice. I have two blanks and a couple of the filler panels for column shift cars. I will look at condition and let you know. I know that some of the mountion tabs are broken though.
