1965 Suburban taillights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kenmel · 11-08-2011, 01:15 AM

Does anyone know where to get Taillights for the Burbs? I know this has been asked before but there are no good links for the Burbs only the truck lens. I have found about making your own but you need a vacuum chamber and I don't want to spend an extra 200 to get one on top of the supplies just to make a set and having to get the original lens smooth and no cracks as that is the problem to start with and I don't really know about trying to cast it myself lol.

Anyone on the board make their own tailights or vendors selling repros??? Thanks

Thanks Cort, my buckets are in great shape but the lens are both cracked and faded and can't find lens info anywhere lol.

I bought a new set about a year or so ago from a truck parts supplier on ebay, but I don't remember the name. But I did find this used set on ebay.....

I thought Classic Parts had them, but apparently not. I'm sure one of the parts suppliers has them.

They repop them, check LMC or Brothers.

I’m not finding anyone that currently carries suburban tail lenses. Americanclassic.com used to carry them under part number TLL6P, but currently show them as discontinued:

Although there are a pair of used lenses on Ebay currently:

Dinos63 · 11-08-2011, 03:18 PM

Brothers stocks them too

**Clyde65** · 11-08-2011, 03:49 PM

Brothers doesnt show them you better get those on evilbay

**Corts60** · 11-08-2011, 07:25 PM

Call Dan's Classics out of Portland, OR. I know he has them. I think he sells them for about $35 or so.

They showed up on eBay . After that I kinda settled down another it thinking that they are available now. I might have seen them in Chevy duty but I may have just made that up also. Don't have a catalog anymore

Make sure who ever you buy from, actually has them. I bought from a good source and it still took 3 months to get them. The excuse was, the ones he had were cracked. He did make good on a new pair of repops, so I think they are out there, as he had to get them from somebody.

I don't think I would hold out for NOS unless I was doing a concourse resto. (2 cents)

Ty77 · 01-20-2013, 12:17 AM

i believe the truck and car shop in orange california carries the repops, they have a good sized inventory for our body style

GVDobler · 01-29-2013, 10:59 PM

There is a pair on Ebay now.

SuperDuperDoughnuts · 03-30-2023, 12:29 PM

Is there a gasket that goes between the lens and the housing, or just the one glued on the back of the housing?

Yes
