72 GMC Grille - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I got mine there was no grille on it so that way this question sounds so stupid, Where does the light socket for the front turn signal go? the new lenes rivets to the grille so what after that?

Are you missing the housings? They should be attached to the lense. The bulbs plug into the housing.

I can take a pic and post it tomorrow if it would help.

That will help, I must have overlooked the housing in the books.

The GMC signals I have actually look riveted to the signal housings. Then the housings install behind the grill via two screws.

Face of housing with lens on

Housing with pigtail

Housings without pigtails

BTW, I have two sets of these for sale in the for sale section, if you need a pair.

gmcdude · 03-26-2010, 11:04 PM

I may need them,cause right now I don't see in none of my books.

**wancosc356** · 03-26-2010, 11:49 PM

Well let me know if I can help.

Anybody have any the attached to the grille cause I'll need to know where to fasten the to? if anyone does can you send a picture? I mean the housing cause I see a bracket on these.

**wancosc356** · 03-27-2010, 09:25 PM

The front where the lens is goes behind the grill and screws in via two screws on each side from the front of the grill. That tab that is mounted on the backs of the housings screws into the radiator support. Sorry, no pics of them mounted.

Ok thanks I hope the lights go easier than the grille did today. They sure don't show these headaches on the car and truck shows.

**wancosc356** · 03-27-2010, 09:44 PM

Haha. They should be easier.

Of course they don't show the headaches on TV. Everything goes on just perfect and they never have any issues.....that they ever show you.
