Best tail light lens? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dropped one of my 72 C10 oem tail light lenses while reinstalling. Broke out a good corner chunk. Who would have the closest to oem replacements. Some of the aftermarkets aren't close.

Thanks

why not look for an OEM? they seem to come up regularly - ebay, Craigslist, and probably here

I have a couple used ones around here, somewhere. I went to the LED jobs from LMC.

Bought two from Classic Industries. Ordered their OER quality and they are very nice. Have the Guide logo on the lens and sae numbers. Side by side with oem I can't tell the difference. 10 buck apiece.
FYI
