'71 Insturment bezel

Post by rr6pak » Sat Aug 27, 2005 3:02 pm

:help: I have a 71 RR. I want to buy an insturment bezel for it but the one I'm looking at, the part number I don't see in my parts book for the year. P/N for sale is 2985152. I don't have mine out of my car yet but it looks the same.

Basically, Is the Ralley dash bezel the same for a 71 RR as to a 71 Carger/Super Bee? The only difference I can see might be different is the opening for def, heat, and if a/c is installed.

You probably already got this figured out, but I believe they are the same. The opening for the heater should be the same, but hte parts behind are different based on AC or not. The bezel in my car is from a 74 charger and mine is a 71 satellite. However, I re-used my gauges and circuit board, becasue nothing worked right with the charger one sin there. All I needed the other set for was the bezel and the clock. Maybe the harness was different, but the hookups were the same.

The 71/72 bezels are different than the 74.....

I am not sure about the 73 but the 74 has small light indicators next to the wiper and head light switch that the 71/72 bezels do not have.

Functionally they are all the same- AZ was correct that some (later) units have the lighted indicators ---- also I have one that has the "fasten seatbelts" light on the top right ear of the bezel, by the oil and temp guage, situated so only the driver can see it.

Either way any of them will interchange. the differences in AC/ Strato-vent, and the base models all have to do with the harnesses and the switches themselves.
