I purchased a repop bezel and found it won't fit the lamp "to small". I did a internet search and found out the manufacture makes motorcycle parts? I'm going to call the vender and see if it was packaged wrong? I the mean time anyone who knows for a fact where to get proper fitting chrome bezel please let me know. Thanks, Phil
More info, the repop bezel from Wyatt Gatling indicates its for a Harley part#68086-55. I wonder if it fits a Harley better than it fits a burb? Can anyone out there verify this for me? Thanks again, Phil

From reputable classic truck dealers. Our sponsor, American Classic Truck Parts, has them %10 discount. See the ad at left. Do you trust ebay guys? or our sponsors who have sold many to Truck owners? I would like to know where you got the one that won't fit?

Why would they do that? Hard to believe. Lots of things in life are hard to believe, but I won't get political. The truth is the reproduction bezels sold by JC and AC don't fit, I know, I bought one. Tim is right about the Harley Davison bezel; it is the same Guide series of tail light lens and bezel. I bought the HD PN Tim suggested and it fit perfectly and is much heavier and better made than the piece of s--t that the vendors are selling. FYI, While I was attempting to make the POS from JC fit, I ended up breaking my original lens, so I bought the HD lens as well and it also fit perfectly and is glass just like the original and not plastic like the vendors sell. And... finally.. I bought both off of Ebay as well. BTW, both were NOS Harley parts. One last thing, in defense of JC, when I complained about the part they sold me, they credited my account.

A few repetitious posts will be deleted.
Draw your own conclusions on from whom/where it is safe to buy this part.
