Uncle Chris is restoring his 64.5 HPP dodge pickup. His was ordered without the pushbutton 727, but has a cable shifter in the center of the dash. The bezel there is messed up, and it apperintly is totally unique because I have located 4 bezels for him, and all 4 are mint, but different that his origional. The spacing is different from park to reverse, and a little bit different from reverse to neutral. His has more of a space that the other bezels I have found. Im stumped, as I have found 5 trucks that are 64-67 auto 2wd trucks 3/4 tons and 1/2 tons. This truck is powered by a 426 wedge and a 727. The trucks I have found the others in were 318 but with a small block 727, so the throw in the tranny should be the same. Im stumped.
Does anyone on here know the difference between bezels, or accually why there is a difference. And if anyone on here can help me locate one.

The bezel is pot metal, and thee truck is 100% origional, and 1 of less than 12 built like this, and the only one that we know of built like this, Custom cab, 2 tone black with white top, long box, large window cab, has a headliner, and factory equipped sun tach.
So chopping somethign up to work isnt possible. I know there has to be one somewhere, just where its at is a mistery. Who rebuilts pot metal parts??

No John, not a want add, but more of hopeing someone knows more about it than me, and hopeing someone here might know what trucks/vans this particilar part may also be found on. I have been looking for 3 years now, and have only found 3 bezels, all incorrect. I have also heard rumors some low line C bodies, and Darts came with something similar. The truck is worth too much to cobble something for the shifter. The poster about the d200 is nice, and I just asked him if its correct if it was an offer to sell it. Thats all... Not a thinly veiled anything.

So what you are looking for is just what other applications used this bezel?
Post a picture of the messed up one you allready have and that will help tons so people can match it up. I would think this would not be special just to this truck.

OP asked if there was different bezel for trucks. Shouldn't be a problem with that. John was probably boared for a moment.
He did PM me after I posted my reply. I'm not able to help him right now so he's back to square one.

The OP needs to know what other applications and years used this bezel so he knows what options he has to look at. It's a WANT AD for information so he knows what to look for and post the appropriate ad where it belongs. This isn't a difficult concept to follow.
Posting a picture of this bezel and the dash would help quite a bit.

It may have STARTED that way ... and like you said ... it's not a hard concept to follow

That one looks close. Do you have the measurements of the distance from the edge of the stop tit, and the edge of the inside bezel.

Accually this truck is a 64.5, and the center mounted shifter like we have was used through out the 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, and 68 trucks. I just dont know the split from the wide shift arm like we have and the narrow shift arm which seems to be more common. The mechanism has 2 cables, one for the shifting, and pne for park alone I believe. I know it was a night mare to dial inn with the shifter. Has a threaded collet, and a round dial and you adjust it like a bike clutch/brake cable in a way. It just hangs out of the tranny case and points to the rear.

A 2-cable shifter would have last been used in 1965. The gate is probably different from the later single cable ones. The transmissions starting in 1966 are lever operated and park is engaged with the same lever that does the other gear positions.
The 1964 CSS brochure shows a push button shifter. See this page - http://www.cssregistry.com/css/broch.html
I also looked at all the 1964 trucks on that site and they all have pushbutton shifters. Some cars had console shifters for the first time in 1964 and probably the 1964 A100 but it doesn't look like pickups did.

Like I said this truck is VERY 1 off, and rare. I know for a face that Ned, the man who ordered the truck ordered it very wierd. This truck also had a painted tranny. Bith the engine and tranny were painted chrysler engine bluegreen color. we had a guy in the registre look up the truck, and was pretty interested in the truck as it was optioned out so wierd. When we told him the tranny was painted green also, he was really interested. I have some pictures I can post.

Some pictures of the bezel and shift lever would be good.
Is there a part number cast into the backside of the bezel you're looking for?
