Driving lights in place of turn signals
 
My project is a 70 GMC C10. I have a 72 chevy front bumper that I am going to put fog lights in place of the turn signals. Been looking for some time to find a nice fitting lamp. so far little luck. anyone out there have any hints?:gmc2:

Turn signals are overrated :lol:

I think he's asking about the turn signal holes in the bumper, which shouldn't be a problem as I believe the 70 GMC's should have turn signal lights below the grille.


It could work, but honestly I'd just use a 67-70 bumper and cut holes to get the driving lights to fit.

GMC's of that era have turn signals in the grill!

You are right on both counts.. I already have the chevy bumper (w/ cut outs for turn signals) for my GMC (that has turn signals in the grill)

:gmc2: not :chevy:

GMC's are better because they used tight bolts when they built them.\:gmc2:

You could pick up the aftermarket bumper that has the driving lights fabbed into bumper. Check with LMC or Classic Parts of America; I think they carry it.

How'd this work out? I'm curious because I have a 70, but when I bought it there was already a 71 bumper on it. Have turn signals in the grill so I don't need the bumper blinkers. I was going to just get the correct bumper but it's hard to bring myself to order the new front bumper when the one that's on there is in great shape. If there was a driving light that would look cool in there I think I'd rather do that.

Did anyone ever figure out what fits these holes good? I don't mind cutting the bumper a little to make some good leds fit either.
