58-59 Apache head light bezel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im putting together a truck and found a pair of head light bezels that were like new in a friends garage. They both fit perfect on the LH fender but neither fits as flush/tight on the RH fender. Are the RH and LH the same thing? Or are they designated RH and LH? Thought I might have to righties.

They are right and left specific, slight angle to them (at least that is what I have on my 59). I don't think they have a PN just have to trial and error fit. If you need a photo of a matched set say so and I will take on, they are setting out on the work bench.

I have the stock set and an aftermarket set and they are the same as
all fit either fender. That said I do have a spare after market fender
that none will fit in. As said, close but no cigar. The opening is a
longer radius on each side on top. I rebuilt my old fender.

Parts book says they are the same left and right. You may have a tweaked head light bucket or fender eye browe
