Are you looking for steel or aluminum?

The one I have is stainless, so a match to that would be best

I think what he is looking for is the metal bucket that the sealed beam light is mounted in and the stainless trim ring that holds it in place with the 3 screws. I think what you are referring to is the outer headlight bezel they were steel or aluminum. Hope this helps

Per the WTB thread title and as an FYI to maybe save Nitro from receiving wrong year part, the inner headlight bucket and outer retaining ring from the "Top Set" circled in red is a 69-72 RH/pass side bucket with a 69-72 style retaining ring. Mel
