So thats an 03+ bezel how the hell does it match up to the contour of the gauge cluster. They are shaped different. Or did I miss something?

The gauge clusters are shaped the same. Different wiring harness and faceplates, but the overall shape is the same.

I had to grind the top of my ashtray down to get it to open and close and the flip up that hides the 3 12v sockets only opens about half way. Other than that it snaps right in like an 02 bezel.

Do you know if the 03 and up bezel comes in a light grey like my 99? If so, I think I've found my future nav/audio upgrade. Guess I could always paint the bezel also...

My 2002 one will work but its not a clean fit. Not enought to notice, but I notice. The plastic part for the A/C controls can be ground down and moved on my truck but the 03+ bolts in the same way and is already at the correct height. The 03's had very minimal dash changes that I can see other than the double din radio. I dont have any dea how to find the part number for the plastic part. Anybody work at a dealership? My local dealership cant find anything without a VIN. They are the definaition of lazy.

BTW, you cant open the ashtray with the new bezel either. I'm going to gring that down as well when I get it all together. The 3 12v sockets are still there as well but the door will only open about 75% before it hits the new bezel. Far enough to still use.
I need part numbers.

hey man, nice setup. is there any way that you could hook me up with a part number for the parts that you had to get to do your modification: bezel, plastic kick plate under steering colomn, and what else did you have to get ? any help would be appreciated.

I used my 02 bezel in my avalanche. Just some creative and steady-handed dremel work and a custom radio kit....vualllla!
