I don't recall the later ones ever having bezels. (I've been wrong before, though!)

It would need the pedal dress up kit I would assume. Not sure if those years had that option either

The pedal rubbers will need a small recess at the edge for the stainless bezel to fit down in to.
If you do not have the recess in the pedal rubbers they will probably get pushed off or catch on the soles of your shoes especially when you operate the clutch.

It is hard to know if they will fit but it looks good if they do.
My car has the pedal dress up kit and I like that little extra shiny bits on the pedals.

I agree, thats what I was going for. I bought a full kit for the gas, clutch, brake, and parking brake. That was before I knew it was a difference for 73 and 74 from the earlier years

Yes they probably will and if not the B body pedal pads those bezels are designed for will most likely fit the E body pedals.

Oops I ment to say don't think they will fit. The B body pads look narrower

They may be to small, hard to know from a photo. It is only $15 to find out.
You have the 70 - 72 tapered pedal kit and rubbers - correct?
Just make them fit by trimming your pedal pads. With the right tools and if you are careful trimming the pad metal is doable.

So are you saying the pedals on my car are are tapered. If that's the case I could just get some tapered pads

70 - 72 have slightly tapered pads.
73 - 74 have the completely square pads.
The difference is fairly obvious once you recognise both types.
Post a photo of the kits you purchased.

I have a 73 Challenger that has the square pads as seen in the 1st photo I posted. I also have the bezels for the tappered pads. My question is will the tappered pads fit on the 73 pedals?

I think the pedals themselves are all the same. Peel off your pads and take a pic.
