I would like to use stock Ford Chrome Dash Switch Bezels for my non-stock switches in my 53 F100. I only have a choke bezel now and it has a rather small I.D. hole. I am going to need larger ones for my light switch, ignition switch etc. Are any of the stock or repro bezels large enough for later model switches? If not, who sells bezels for rodders?

Thanks
Dewayne

 

You can purchase bezel switches that will match all the updated ignition, lights, windshield wiper, **** for cigarette lighter and clove box. The inside of my 55 basically look stock with the exception of the A/C switches which I usea a cherry wood oval to match the door panels. Try bob's F-100, No Limit, Carpenter's or Mid-fifty. I mostly use Mid-fifty for everything I need.

Are you referring to the chrome bezels or the switch *****. The bezels are my issue. I have a pretty good assortment of both stock ***** and billet aluminum *****. If I have my way, I will have stock style chromed bezels with black *****. I am not so crazy about the billet ***** and may paint them black. I have mostly 70s/80s GM style switches that work well with my Haywire harness. I need something that will work with a 5/8 or 3/4 shaft. I am curious if all the stock bezels are basically the same size. I only have a choke bezel to reference. It could be modified (ID drilled) to 5/8 but 3/4 isn't going to happen. Hopefully one of the other stock bezels is larger and I can buy several of them.

Dewayne,
The lights, ignition, and choke bezels are about 1/2", the wiper is 5/8, I also checked a wiper from a 59 its also 5/8 however its flat and bigger than the 53-55 bezels.

 

Thanks Jaye,

I think if I lose my current 3/4" ignition switch I can make it work for the rest. Thanks for taking the time to measure bezels for me.
