Radio bezel needed
I need the larger bezel that fits around the AM/FM 8 track in my 1978 trans am. Here is a pic of the radio 8 track I need it for.

It's more a flat silver. Not shiny chrome.

Here ya go. Yeah they look like chrome but are not. Actually a silver sharpie marker looks exactly like factory. If you get a piece that needs a touch up. This one Teri (Ladytata) here on this board. had at a very GOOD price! I needed the bigger bezel as I also bought a factory 8 track, AM/FM radio for my car. So you must know which size you need.

wait...
I had understood up to this point that he post-1977 radios all had the same sized "snout"; I have in years bygone compared AM/FM with AM/FM-Cassette and they were exactly the same; Are you suggesting that the 8-track player decks used a different bezel? (if so) What's the outside width and height? I have never given more than a passing glance at these... I bought every one I came across...

The earlier years were narrow, for a 77 the opening for the radio should be 2 1/2” same as my 78. In any case the surround trim is not shiny chrome, like some push buttons are on the radio, It’s a silver color, like the one I posted.

All the bezels 78-81 are the same no matter what radio u got. All had the same opening.
For the record when new it was a electroplated chrome around the edge. Turns to a flat silver over time. I have a few nos ones that are not for sale. Can take a pic if you want to see but the silver marker is the next beat thing. Cant hardly aee the diff when installed. |

Yes they are, but NOS could be more if you can find one.

here i was wondering if anyone might think I was absolutely terrible for asking $20 for one!
Sheesh, I seem to be down right reasonable in comparison. Someone's making good money on those! I would think the 70-77 radio faceplates probably cost significant'y more to make considering it's more complicated, and has molder/chromed writing on them...
