Re: Front turn signal ground question

The clear lens is correct for a 60, however the clear and amber lenses are the same except for the color, so it's really easy to put an amber lens in place of a clear one.

If your hood hasn't been off in awhile, it's possible that the original path to ground has gotten a smidge crusty and is no longer conducting properly. Adding a ground wire from the socket to the inner fender or cab would be a good way to solve your issue. I used a small hole that was already in the inner fender to ground the under-hood light I installed from a 90s Dakota. You can see it on the top left of the inner fender.
