Re: 68 park light question
I have found that the '68 connectors were different from the '67 connectors on the Parking Light Assemblies. The '68 connector [thru the radiator wall] has one contact perpendicular to the other, making a "T" . The '67 has one contact on an angle, making a "V".
Otherwise they are the same. In the Headlight Switch, the '67s are configured so the Parking Lights go out when the Headlamps are energized. On '68s, the Parking Lights stay on with the Headlamps. I found this out when I had a '67 Suburban. I hit a deer and my grille was trashed. I found a replacement grille on a junkyard '68 Suburban [there's no difference between C/K 10-20 models, I just lucked out]. It dropped in fine mechanically, but I had to splice in compatible connectors to make the electrical connections work.

Re: 68 park light question
Those people on Ebay have been informed of what their selling. They know it. Their just trying to find more people that don't know to buy them. I've seen them a lot on there and they still are saying that there for 67-68 c10's. They could be easily modified to work but I know thats not what you thought you were buying.
But all I'm saying is they know...

Re: 68 park light question
Yep I just got mine today for a 68 and yes the housing is for c30 and up, although the plug is right and will connect up...left and right side...just have to drill the holes in the housing and add bolts I guess....
