I just ordered gauge kit from cjponyparts that convert your 65 gauges to 66.
the question i have is i have read that you have to cut your 1965 dash (just above the steering column)to accommodate the new bezel...

is this still necessary? it seems that everywhere i got the info from seems to be from forum posts that are at least 3 years old...

it that is the case why is it that every where they sell the bezel it says :65-66" instead of just 66....

do the new bezels fix this problem?

I can't speak for the kit, but i screwed a 1966 cluster assembly into my 65 without any fitment issues. Sender/electronic issues, that's another story.

There is a slight difference in the dash opening for the gauges, usually you need to twit it just a little to get it to fit.

got the bezel in with new classic instruments gauges. after wiring up the dash i installed the gauges with the bezel and they fit fine without cutting the dash. i just had to bend the bottom tabs for the screws...
