Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

Looking good man! Question, how do those parking lamp housing attach to the grille? It's been so long since I've taken mine apart and a lot of my hardware has disappeared from working on 3 restorations at the same time lol.

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

well eric there are x4 7/16ths nuts that bolt on to the bolts which are attached to the park lights.... you will see on the grill there is 2 holes in each ''dip'' and you just slide the park llight in and then go underneath and bolt them up really easy if i ever go down to sac and you havent done it ill do it for you
