Re: Headlight bezel - surround - 62 to 59
My 59 Fleet did come with the oem backing plate for the single bucket but I do not have the original buckets nor fenders that GMC would have put them in. I have 58-59 chevy fenders which they are now mounted in -- some trimming on the fenders had to be done and all emblem holes filled in.
The buckets I used are for 55-57 as are the rings. I have rings only -- no bezels. They are together but the fit of the rings are snug and it just does not have a finished look.
I am guessing maybe they used 47-55 buckets (I do not know how different they are if any) and rings but have not tried them. I can pull a ring off the 42 or 46 and try it on the 59. Someone with a Fleet that replaced one would know.
mr48chev - in the second truck pic, it has a passenger side mirror. I do not know if my Fleet had one or not as it only came to me the original left door. First truck pic looks like it has none.
Anyone have the build sheets for a Fleet. 8-)
