After a few years acquiring parts this winter I am going to TH350 swap and add a console my 65 F-85 Cutlass. The car has been in my family since new, and I am looking to make this as factory as possible. My current dash is a column shift and has the cutout for the PRND indicator. I would like to find a bezel from a floor shift car, like pictured, or even another column shift bezel in lower quality condition. It would be easy to use the water jet to cut a piece out of another bezel, and use it as a filler plate, no one would notice. The car is not perfect by any means, but I am trying to keep it convincing as an unmolested car.

Anything you may have please reach out, I am in no hurry, but would like to start this project later this year.

Thanks for your time.

The ones that had a opening for PRN12 some had a delete plate as I had one with a console. It was painter dash color. I'm sure you can make a delete cover to work.

I have each as 64 so they are black. Im in Illinois. Never heard of filler plates or seen one for the shift indicator but all the plants did what made sense at the time right. Let me know. Cleaning out all my parts in the upcoming months. Collecting 64/65 since 1977.

 

If you are still looking I have a console style dash and have consoles also

 

Where are you located?
I know where theres a floor shift dash just sitting in a salvage yard.
