I just found that bezel if you want it? Has all the hardware except 1 screw, missing not broke, all good except the chrome. Maybe a zip to calculate the shipping too? Thanks Lou
Thank you. I appreciate your effort, but I don't need it. I am convinced that 68 Coronet R/T's (and probably other 68 Coronets) didn't use them. I ordered a new one and it won't work with the flat panels that go on either side of the gauge cluster and over the glovebox. I probably shouldn't call them bezels, more likely inserts. I am still looking for the flat inserts for a non-rallye dash.

Ok, but if you get a chance, look in a Factory 68 service Manuel and it clearly shows the bezel around it.
I have looked in my 68 Dodge Charger/Coronet/Dart Service Manual and can find nothing that clearly shows any dash details. Just one crappy drawing in section 23-57. I don't know if there is another, more detailed service manual that might show things better.
The pictures above are not of my car (I googled 68 Coronet R/T dashboard), but they are consistent with what I found on my 68 440 four door parts car which had been sitting for many years and did not appear to be tampered with. They are also consistent with my 68 Coronet R/T dash, but the R/T dash had been messed with (partially upholstered with diamond tuck) so I can't put too much faith in that. On both of these cars, the chrome and black strip that runs across the top of the gauge cluster all the way across to the top of the glove box, would interfere with the raised chrome bezel (frame) like the one you have. If these pictures (and others I have seen) can be trusted, that raised chrome frame that surrounds the gauge cluster is not there.
I don't mean to sound like an expert, because I am not even close to one. I am just going off of the two dashes I have had my hands on, and pictures I have found on the internet.
I don't mean to come across as argumentative and I really do appreciate your input.
And, to stay on topic, the photo above shows the radio surround, and the hockey stick shaped piece that extends across to the glove box that I am currently hoping to find. Not shown is the little piece that mounts adjacent to the left side of the dash cluster.

I was going to suggest to find a car similar to look at and you have them on hand, I would call them the bible.
