Please HELP!! Where can I get this????
I have been looking all over the internet at differnt bumps to get an idea of different paint jobs and stumbled over something I have to have.
I just need to know where to get it since I have never seen this before in my life. The part in question is the aluminum piece that is surroundin the ***** dash switches below the aluminum instrument bezel.
I really think this makes the interior pop and would love to have it on my bump, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Randy

Custom fabricated stainless.
A edge roller and taking your time can do the same, So can Hammerforming on a buck, sanding and polishing.
64 F series used a similar Stainless Steel unit and it is equally coveted.

I wonder if anyone makes these already though. I have aready thought of making my own, I would hate to go through all that trouble,I would imagine the key switch would be a huge pain.

I suggest you contact carolina-classics and ask them if Billet makes the other panels that fit around the *****: 800-598-4211

The raised surround around the ignition would suggest that it's stamped. It looks too deep & precise for hand forming. It MAY have been part of a larger piece that they cut to fit and rolled the edges but my guess is it's stamped from a die. That means there's probably more out there.
Where did the pic come from?

A good possibility. What years have that raised bezel around the igintion? My '68 is kinda flat. I surfed ebay for minute and a few 67s looked similar but who knows with all the mods they could have had over the years. Not that it would matter, I've just never noticed that the key bezels were different until this thread.

The same bezel was used on 1967/68 Mustangs, 1966/67 Fairlanes & Falcons.

i went back and took a close look at the one i pictured above and the area around the ignition switch is part of the sheet metal and is stamped out just like the one you pictured. The truck is a 71 f100 ranger. if you want me to try and take closer pics i can.
