XL and XLT bezels are the same except for lettering. Base models can either have CUSTOM on them or nothing at all like the one above.
I'll post a picture of each to show the differences.

I too have to say that I enjoy seeing Uncle Stosh's posts about salvage yard finds. I like to see what everyone else is finding. I was lucky enough to find an underhood toolbox recently for $5. Few weeks back- 2 EB bucket seats and center console, very good condition, $83. I got all excited at the beginning of the thread about the console. Then I saw it is tan, I am beginning to believe I'll never find a good blue one. Everyone keep your eyes peeled!

From what I gather there are 4 different types of Instrument cluster bezels (technically 6 total including Rosewood and Burlwood with and without a/c vents) and 7 different types of radio bezels (including and omitting the word "Custom" on both early and later style waffle weave not shown).
Shown here are 3 of the 4 different instrument cluster bezels (I have the base model black and gray waffle weave - but didn't have it on hand for the picture).
Shown from left to right: Later XL and XLT Burlwood, Early XL and XLT Rosewood, Early Custom (with silver accent), not shown is the later Custom without silver accent.
Radio Bezels shown left to right: Early XLT (XL is the same style), Early Custom, Later Custom, not shown but available is the later XL and XLT in Burlwood.
I almost forgot: Supposedly (and I am desperately seeking) is a later model Custom like that on the right with clock cutouts. But I have never seen one.

I have a CUSTOM one with the clock cutout, cannot remember the part number off hand.
It has the part numbers for both bezels stamped into it if I remember right.
Numberdummy may be able to look up the part number for the Bezel.
The CUSTOM bezel with and without clock are for 1980 and 1981s only to be year correct.

I've had another guy jerking me around for months telling me that he has one too (not from here mind you).
It's the last thing that I need to finish my interior. Maybe you'd like to trade something for it?
Let me know either way.

Just when I thought that I had seen every possible radio bezel option, I ran accross this one today. Some idiot butchered it, but I was able to salvage the "Ranger XLT" script off of it.

For what it's worth, I think uncle.stosh is a great asset to this forum. I joined to get practical info, and he's a gold mine of info. I love having a tach, fat steering wheel, and especially intermittent wipers on my stripper 85 F150. Thanks to uncle.stosh and everyone here who shares this info with us.
