58-59 Fleetside Taillight Housings
Do the attached pics of a tail light housing look to be correct for 58-59 Fleetsides? The holes do not seem to line up correctly.

I will be looking at mine tonight and will post a pic later. If anyone has spares laying around I need one.

It looks to be correct. Remember that the outside bezel is held in by the 3 screws that go through the lens into the assembly that you sent a pic of.

Re: 58-59 Fleetside Taillight Housings
I must admit that my truck isn't assembled that way so maybe I have the wrong ones or maybe they were slightly different in 59... Perhaps I will brave the bitter Idaho cold tear my taillights down to see if they will assemble according to the drawing. I don't know all the history of my truck so it may have the wrong parts on it.

Re: 58-59 Fleetside Taillight Housings
It's actually $68. total, and they do appear to be in good shape. This is also just for the housings, I have already purchased the lenses, gaskets and the aluminum bezels. I am going to E-mail him and tell him I want them. I've been searching for a good set for quite some time now. I'm hoping he will include the wire pig tails. Thanks again for all the help you provided to a newbie. This is a great site and a most useful resource to all old Chevy truck enthusiasts! Great people too! I will get some pics of my truck up soon.

Re: 58-59 Fleetside Taillight Housings
BTW your tail/brake lights will appear brighter if you paint the inside of the housing flat white.
