My 1971 Duster has a perfect Dash, The chrome and woodgrain on the dash are perfect. Someone in the early 70's cut the Radio bezel and installed a Mopar cassette radio I want to put in the original AM radio and want to keep my bezel, Does anyone make a plate to fit over the cut bezel? OR any help would be great.

Ralley cluster or standard? shruggy


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

There's no bolt on fix for that, however, you can use a standard dash bezel as a bandaid approach to getting something that looks more like it belongs there.

Or install a really cool, period-correct AM/FM/8-track player. Unfortunately with the rallye cluster, once it's been cut - you find a new cluster. There's no easy way to rebuild that.

I had the same issue with my Swinger years ago. Somebody had hacked the dash very poorly for a cassette deck. I cleaned up their hack job as best I could, found a Motorola deck that fit and used the factory knobs. A lot of people mistook it for factory - even some hard core mopar people!
