Default Interior Parts Questions

I am looking to replace the sun visors in my 98, the drives side visor has been really loose for a while, and now the plastic bracket that keeps it in place broke. I see that LMC has them for about $120, but has anyone replaced theirs with something other that stock 2nd gen? Do any of the newer generations fit? I wouldn't mine upgrading to something a little more modern looking. I just had my headliner done last week ($225), so worse case, I may grab some junkyard visors and have the trim shop recover them for me.( (I know i could re-cover them myself, but the trim shop already has the material and it is inexpensive to get done)

I am also looking for a dash bezel, LMC truck online only showed the cover that glues on top the existing one, but mine is too badly broken for that. Being its a 98 makes it a little harder to find one that fits properly with the changes in the light switch size and airbag switch cutout. I have seen some on eBay, but reviews and mixed and most say the stock vents do not fit properly and fall out. Any other ideas or places to check?

I know LMC has the stock sun visors, but are there any newer model trucks I can take them from that fit?

For the dash bezel, I have a 98, , LMC shows that this is for 99-01. I know it will basically fit, but it is not an exact fit, since the light switch opening is different and the air bag switch opening may be different. I could probably fill any gaps with a piece of black ABS plastic, but wasn't sure if someone makes an exact fit replacement for a 98.

Thank you for the reply

Thank you for the reply
I'd suggest downloading the 1998 parts manual (you can find a link to it here - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...s-manuals.html) and obtain the part number for the 1998 dash bezel. Once you have the part number, you can Google search for an NOS or a good used one. I've had great luck using this technique to find hard to get parts. You can also check eBay, Facebook Marketplace and car-part.com for 1998 truck parts at salvage yards all over the country.
