Re: Replacement Lenses

I got different tail light lenses from Autozone. The Advanced had the Grotes line but no fleet tail lenses. Autozone had them & the trim was polished like the OE units so I got them.

I think the units from GMC Pauls would work fine if you don't have tailgate trim directly beside it as the diff was obvious w/my set-up.

On another note, I went to tape off the polished trim on the front/amber side marker lenses to paint the black border that's not there. While taping off the 1st one, the trim easily came off. I checked the 2nd one (just barely picking @ it) & it came off as well. The weird thing is the trim on the rear/red lenses appears to be firmly in place for both sides. So now I have to adhere the trim back on securely.

Not sure what I'm going to use as my bonding agent yet.....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
