72 tail light Bezels?

[frankenstein72]

Why am I having such a tough time finding tail light bezels? I read that you have to buy the entire tail light to get the bezel. This is unacceptable. Can anyone send me in the right direction? If I do have to buy the entire housing could you guys give me some ideas where are the best sites to shop? Where do you guys buy parts? What are some companies that have nice stuff. I need bumpers too but want quality stuff. I would like the chrome to last awhile.

I just went to the usual sites, yearone, parts group, ecklers, and I cannt find anybody making a reproduction tail light bezel. Where did you find them? Concerning your bumpers why not just rechrome them?

There are holes in the bumpers so I figure Id just float the 300 bucks and get some nice new ones. I don't know much about re chroming but I would be interested to learn more. My rims are all messed up. What would something like that cost? How long would they be gone? Should I media blast them before I send them off? can you give me the names of some reputable places that I could call. thanks.

Your last 4 questions are you asking about the bumpers or the rims? In either case you would want something as local as possible so your best bet is to look for some local car clubs whose members have older vehicles from the 60's and 70's. They would be a great source for restoring bumpers and rims.
