Does someone have the number of the bulb that is correct for the front turn signals on a 71-72 chevy? (the ones in the bumper), Also, the correct bulb for the rear turn signals/brake lights/running lights, and the ones for the backup lights, on a 72 stepside?

Thanks

You really can find any info on the internet! Think of how difficult finding such readily available info would have been pre-www.

My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend. Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold. Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.
