tbritt; is kinda right; Slick's prior to 65 model;customcab speedo where the same as the above round type bezel; only difference was chrome & a decorative trim plate below / around the dash ***** with Customcab written on them. The 65 & 66 models change from having a standard cab round bezel to having the speedo sweep type you mention. Hope I made this post in a understanding way. And on top of all that several other options seperate the two types as well.

I had so many bezels at one time i seen them in my sleep. I would give them away for visitation prizes at my garage.....Here have one... Like the cookie lady on the Matrix...

in 64 65 and 66 you can take the white bezel and carefullyl take off the paint and there is a chromed bezel under there...........HAve to do it real carefull though as the chrome is thin. Almost like a cad plating but chromeish....
