Park light bulb socket? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gigem · 01-28-2020, 09:05 PM

The bulb socket for the front right park light on my 72 GMC is messed up. Won't stay locked into the light housing. It looks like it was replaced at some point, which would make sense as it appears the truck was hit in the right front at some point.

I can't seem to find a replacement socket in any of the catalogs I have. Is this part available? Any idea where to get one, or something that would work? I really don't want to convert to LED's. Just want to put it back the way it was originally and have the bulb stay put.

Thanks!

Check the parts for sale board. Lots of guys parting trucks on there. You can't post a want to buy because you are not a premium member but if you find one for sale on there you can buy it or the whole housing.

Thanks, didn't know these were not reproduced. Just bought an original one on Ebay.
