    Are you guessing or do you know? If you know, I'll go on a hunt.

    I used a set that were hanging on my buddys garage wall. He was "pretty sure" they were '49 Chevy.

    I've got a 50 Pontiac and can tell you that they are not exactly round - the Pontiacs were slightly oval - that said I'd guess that the 49 - 52 chevy rims would fit - and there's lots of repro ones out there if you can't find originals.

    Update: A buddy recently did a 51 Chevy Pickup and had the old bezels. They are pretty damned close. They are slightly deeper but probably not noticeable. Now I have to see how the stock clips worked vs the Chevy and how the gasket would work. If these work out they'll be the hot lick because repros are available in stainless.

    By the way, I'm still waiting on approval to get on the Kaiser Frazier site.

    Good info on the headlight bezels. It took me awhile to get on there. If you want I can put a message on there for you if you PM me your info. Merry Christmas.

    Maybe they don't have Internet in the the Old Folks Home.
