Radio and heater Trim bezel

Anyone know where to get a new trim bezel around the radio and heaters? Or anyone have a used one that’s not cut up or broken to pieces? My truck has one that’s cut up for a new radio and someone did a terrible job on it. Looking to replace

No new ones around unless a NOS one shows up on Ebay and pay big bucks for it.
Finding good used ones is also getting hard to come by, again on Ebay and not cheap either.

Note there are different ones as the wood grain could be different, some dont have the wood.
Then the radio cut out could be different depending on the radio you have.
And if that is not enough you have cut outs for the clock on some and others are not cut out.

Mine has a big square open for the radio and cut outs for the clock.

And yes someone did cut it for a modern radio I need to make a filler panel to fit in front of the radio and behind the panel but when in the truck you dont even see this gap.

Its a cover that I painted to match the rest of the parts I painted in making them look better.
When in the truck you have to really look at it to tell its a cover.
The 1 thing I will say on painting either a pad or cover is use a semi gloss SEM paint as I get glare off it when its bright out.

I was afraid of this. I'm in the process of a restoration on a 1984 F250 XL/Custom. I don't mind spending for a quality piece with the standard radio **** holes still intact, if someone has one.
