Does anyone know anything about PG Classic Reproduction Parts? I'm looking at their 64 Plymouth tail light bezels and I was wondering if they're the same as the ones from BE&A? Thanks.

Most likely they are. Talk to Mike Ross @ BE/A.

Go with B,E&A.
Do a site search about some of the problems members here have had with PG Classics.

Buy it from Mike at BE&A; best service ever. Most PG/BE&A parts come from the same place though there may be some that have #'s and trademarks on them at Mikes and not at PG's due to licencing differences....just call Mike and ask.

I've ordered from PG Classics a couple of times. Never had any problems. I don't need a part # on my parts and being in Canada it saves the surprise brokerage fees.

No, that's not correct. Just rumored at times. You might be thinking of Layson's, their lenses didn't have any part numbers on them.
In this case the orig post was asking about cast tail light bezels for a 64 Plymouth, part is the same from both PG/BE&A. As of tonight, the price is $50 less on PG website... just sayin!

if it's less moeny there is a reason - PG classics makes most of if not all of BEA's parts.

the difference is BEA parts have the OE part number cast or stamped into the part in question. PG classics does not( at least it's not supposed )

I just want to get this right, you're saying that PG (who DOES get these parts made overseas) gets two DIFFERENT tail light bezels made? With and without part numbers... just to supply those to BE&A. Not sure I agree with that. Check out both sites prices on 71 RR tail light lenses, $375 on both, but PG has them on sale for $275 RIGHT NOW. They don't always sell the same part at the same prices.
You know, I've met Mike at the Mopar shows. He's a good guy, I have nothing against him. This is just a discussion of parts and price. I mean after all, you sell parts made from a manufacturer that sells to other dealers. I'm sure I could find them at different prices to what you sell them for. Again, just sayin...

BE&A and PG ARE the same. Neither is trying to hide that fact. Like others have said, PG sells parts without numbers (probably ground off the tool after the BEA parts run) for less $ because Mike pays a premium to Chrysler to HAVE the numbers for the guys that want that.

Both provide a VERY valuable service to the Mopar crowd.

Thought I heard/read that they also only do ONE big run and thats it. can someone confirm this? Mike?

Yes, PG makes the parts sold by BEA.

The BEA parts has the OE number cast into the part( rear bezel your asking about as an example)

PG classics has either -
A - a second tool made ( depends on the part)

OR

B - grinds the OE numbers off of the casting before it's plated ( the rear bezels your asking about - also - used as an example
