Do the 72 GMC Gille turn signals mount just to the grille? Can someone please send a picture? The po had it removed and I have no idea?

On my '72 there is an 'L' (or angle) piece bolted to the bottom of each parking light assembly "bucket" and the front of the core support; and the screws that hold the "bucket" to the grille.

Is the hole for the L factory or drilled? Can you send a picture?

Gimme a couple of minutes & I'll try to get a picture. I don't know if I can get my camera to focus down that close, but I'll try.

Here are a couple more pics of the core support. I don't know a lot about the GMC's but I would think it would be a factory hole. The one hole still has part of the bracket bolted up.
