New bling for my 63 GMC

I decided to finally replace the very worn out cat's eye park lamps & tail lights & bezels on my truck. Amazing what $80 worth of parts can do for the appearance. I've also now added 1157 LED bulbs to the taillights & they look great! Replaced the front brakes(even the backing plates) & have been taking advantage of the very unseasonal 80 degree weather to put some miles on the ol' girl!

Re: New bling for my 63 GMC

Looks good. Just curious, any reason you went with the bowtie lenses in the rear instead of the plain ones for the GMC?

What a great improvement. For so many years those parking light lenses just weren't available, it's nice they've finally been reproduced.

Let's call it a brain fart! Didn't even think about it really. Although it does have a chevy drivetrain, so I could always use that excuse! I am thinkin about goin with a blue dot lense as well. Classic truck has the blue dot lenses on sale for $10.50 & the plain lenses for under $6.
