Help with Park/signal lense cover and pic of seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How do we connect a new after market lense to the housing for a 68 GMC? It came with what looks like little rivets, but they fit loosely in the housing. Here's a pic of the seat after getting the hounds tooth cover on that I got from Tim Christian. The cover fit good and is of excellent quality.

I can't make nothing out of it, your pictures didn't work except for one with the light bulb in it.

Myself, I would get some small stainless bolts and attach the lens to the housing. I do not like the rivets. I always seem to break something when I try and smash them on.

I finally got the picture thing figured out, here is a picture of the seat and more. The first picture is what I started with. Almost 8 years later, here it is. I am almost finished with the GMC my dad bought new in 68. He is going to be 87 years old on the 21st and I can't wait to get it finished for him. I finally figured out the picture thing.

Yes those covers are nice. The same one I got in mine green houndstooth. as far as the rivets I discarded mine used some stainless screws in case I need to replace a bulb some day. Good job reviving ol 4 eyes.
