Front Turn Lenses - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here is how the grill looks on my '59 although in a chrome version. One thing I'm needing are new park/turn lenses that fit the grill. Notice that GMC's have a different shape than Chevy's and all part catalogues so far have only replacements for Chevy.

I have 2 extra grills like this available along with front bumpers. Drop me a note if interested . Bob

Good luck!! I have a 58 short fleetside and the lenses for these things seem to be rare. They dont make reproduction grilles or grill parts for the GMC yet, just the Chevies. Got a nice spare pair of fenders for sale ??

Shawna, What is the problem with your front fenders?
They look good from the pictures I've seen.

Sorry to highjack your thread C.F.59

Oh man, Denny,,, they're hurting big time. where it looks like the paint has been sanded away..is actually holes rotted right thru...the one eye brow on the pass side is a very poor fiberglassing job... Tim jsut threw some rattle can black on there so it wouldn't look so sh!tty in the picture. The rest of the truck is damn near immaculate tho. I'm going to put the word out to anyone going to Indy to ever so kindly go looking at their bone yards for a pair for me. I'd be forever grateful if anyone did find some... I will however bite the bullet and buy brand new if I gotta!

you mean these are actually stock for 58 and 59?? I thought the turn lenses were the piece that fits the bigger hole section

*Slams_58* · 02-24-2004, 11:13 PM

aren't these the turn signal lenses?

Reproduction parking/turn signal lenses (#CT23643) for 58-59 GMC were available thru "Classic Industries" out of California. It has been some time since I dealt with them, but I would think that they still carry them.

I am a dealer for Classic Ind. and they no longer carry them...
