License Plate Holder Light Problem... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Springbear · 06-12-2004, 02:13 AM

Restoring my 1972 4X4 and discovered that the light does not even look close to original. What does the factory one look like?

Looks correct to me. That is what I have always seen for a marker lamp.

Jeepster376 · 06-12-2004, 12:17 PM

That looks home made.

Here a pic of mine. I can't get a good pic of the top cuz the tailgate is in the way. One note, I welded a new light socket into my housing cuz the old one was bad, so my protuberating socket it not like original, and I painted it silver, it was gold cad plated.

THE RIGHT ONE???? I DON'T THINK SO.... HERES A PIC OF THE CORRECT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT FOR A 67-72 TRUCK, BLAZER OR SUBURBAN EQUIPPED WITH A SPORT BUMPER. SEND ME $5 FOR SHIPPING & I'LL SEND YOU ONE.

That light sure is for a step bumper, my truck has a step bumper and that round one is the exact same one that's on it.

side note:
the light you need was also used on 73-87 blazers & subs.
I think they are avail. at parts stores new, if you want to do some searching.

Hey junkyardjohn,
PM sent for light

*Gee_Emm* · 06-14-2004, 11:30 PM

The light and bucket was also used on 70's and 80's vans which are a dime a dozen at boneyards.
