Default custom automatic shifter bezel

Anyone know where to find custom automatic shifter bezels for a 68?

Or is this the only choice?


Thanks!

Lokar sells some but I'm not sure if it is a direct replacement or not. I think you may need to use their shifter as well.

IMHO, aftermarket shifters are a total PITA. The non-console bezel you showed was used in the 68 Shelby, how bad could it be?

Note- Your console-type shifter is different than the standard one, you'll need to change it to go without console.

Another option: Look for an NOS or used original shifter bezel from Thunderbird, Cougar, Fairlane parts vendors or car clubs. Ford used same bezel & shifter in several models.
