Default Radio trim Benzel replacment info needed

Hi everyone, I have a early 2007 SLT Megacab 2500 with the std am/fm single cd radio and the Khaki color interior. It currently has the silver benzel trim around the radio and I wish to change it out to the wood grain one. I have been to two dealers and they are bothhaving trouble looking it up. I took a chance and orderd one and it came the woodgrain but with a grey interior color lower half instead of the Khaki color. I have to pay a restocking fee on these so I would rather not guess anymore.
So my question is does anyone with a 2006 or 2007 truck have the Khaki interior, the std am/fm single cd radio and the wood trim? According to the dealer the body style does not matter as in reg cab/crewcab ect.

if they do have them. You can get one here.....

www.dodgeparts.com

In the banner at the top of the page click on " O.E.M. catalog "

From there under body parts, input your info but using 2006

When you get to the items on the left side of the page.... scroll down to " Instrument panel "

From there go to " Instrument panel " again.

From there click " center bezel "

From there click "color-keyed w/o navigation radio"

the next page will have your bezel. It's possible that's the same one you already received. It's worth a try to call them to. I bought my replacement bezel from them a while back. Their prices are pretty good.

Why not keep the one you ordered and get a 'rattle' can of interior paint, from the dealer, to paintit the correct color? I painted the dash on my '91 a couple of different times using this paint. It matched the factory color and looked good.
Just a thought to say you some time and maybe $$....

Thanks for the replys, I will check into the leads you provided. If anyone does have this set please still post as I feel its the only real 100% way to be sure. What I will need is the last 9 of your vin as the dealer says that is where the color code is.

THE CORRECT PART NUMBER FOR YOUR RADIO BEZEL WOODGRAIN WITH KHAKI LOWER SECTION IS 5KE761J8AC
I AM PARTS MANAGER AT A DODGE DEALER, IF THE GUY AT THE COUNTER PAID ATTENTION TO THE CATALOG ITS NOT THAT HARD TO GET THE CORRECT ONE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON PARTS NUMBERS LET ME KNOW, ILL BE GLAD TO HELP.

When I bought mine it had the standard wood grain trim pieces. Around the radio, on the doors, and the whole bit. I looked into ordering the brushed stainless or nickel as replacements. Does taking the original ones out damage them?

NO IT DOESNT DAMAGE THEM WHEN REMOVED, THEY HAVE SPRING CLIPS ON THE BACK SIDE THAT HOLD THEM IN.

Thanks for the part # Blewmoney. I will give the dealer a call and get it ordered.
Chukar as Blewmoney said these dashes as in most new vehicles are basicly snap together, the only place that gets damaged is your walletas plastic is not cheap!

Thanks again for the part #
