Looks good. I would have asked about the old bezel but for the two extra screw holes. That's a shame.

I don't remember screw holes there, but they do look "factory". Here's what I though it would looke like. I'm thinking of going with the "weave" bezels on Big Blue and already have the instrument bezel so am looking for a radio bezel to match.

Wood grain bezel is the same: 1982/83 F100 & 1982/84 F150/350 & Bronco.

1980/81 F100/350 & Bronco is different, as is 1985/86 F150/350 & Bronco.
