I recently ordered a set of new chrome dash trim for my '62, and was surprised to discover that its slimmer than the original I pulled off. Just wondering if anyone knows a supplier of new dash trim that is the same size as the og stuff. Thanks...

Who did you order it from?

Have you tried Wolfsburg West?

62 didnt have chrome dash trim. It was aluminum. 60 and earlier was chrome.

If i recall correctly some trim sets are slimmer towards the ends of the dash (left and right end ) than others ...
