Looking for the woodgrain 8-track bezel for my 68 GTX. I have one that unfortunately has a hole in it.

Good push button bezels are extremely hard to find, 8-tracks are even rarer.
I have seen a few push button bezels hacked to make an 8-track. Here is an example...
Good luck with the hunt!

^^^ This.

I had a GTX and needed one. I did find one at Tony's parts in DE. I did 'pay' for it but I have yet to see another one for sale.

They do repop the regular bezel now, not sure how the wood color matches up.

All these plastic dash pieces for the 68 GTX are extremely rare. If you have them treasure them cause finding them are close to locating unicorns. Moparnation74 a FBBO member may have one or know where you might find one. He’s the resident expert on the GTX. His is a 69 but I believe he has some 68 parts too. Send him a pm. Good luck!

I have several.of these sets........a 69 is rare enough in itself.....to find a 68 is near impossible.......

Thanks to Socal above I aquuted a nice 68 hockey stick......I think the radio bezel was converted to an 8 track....I will have to double check.....

If it will work for your ride you are welcome to use/try it.....just cover the shipping costs......

I will try to post some pics this evening of it....

What is the difference between a 68 and a 69?

@MCODECUDA 68 was slightly lighter in woodgrain hue.

@moparnation74 From the eBay pictures it looks like the radio bezel is just broken. More material would need to be removed to make it fit the 8 track. But it is an excellent candidate for that since it is already half way there.

That's a great offer and I'll let you know. I saw one on ebay awhile back before I got the car. I should have snagged it. Here is a pic, the dash is pretty nasty.
