Gmc headlite adjusters

Does anyone know where to get the proper plastic healite adjusters for a 65 gmc? The ones at LMC and even on ebay are wrong. The LMC ones look like they might work but I was wondering if anyone else bought them . Gmc is different than chevy also....

Re: Gmc headlite adjusters

I just used some aluminum standoffs of the proper height. standoff is a internally threaded hex shaped coupler that comes in different lengths. Used a screw on the back side of the housing to hold the standoff in position, then bolted the bracket via the other side of the standoff. Kieth


Here is the only photo I have of these on the grill. Kieth

Do yours look like these? If not can you post a picture of them.

I still have some of the nylon nuts but I'm out of the bolts.

Got mine from an Auveco dealer for my 1966 GMC. Here's the website. The dealers typically supply body shops with body supplies and clips.

Hope this helps.

Re: Gmc headlite adjusters

Re: 1962 - 1969 GM Truck Headlight Adjuster Nuts And Bolts
here is the part nbr at LMC
Added 8 of Part # 30-0728 HEADLIGHT ADJUSTER ASSY 8 REQ $3.95 Each

QTY Part # Description Unit Price Amount
30-0728 HEADLIGHT ADJUSTER ASSY 8 REQ 3.95 $31.60

I think that they are 1/2 that price at other places like Dan's in Portland
GMC are different from chev except for 60-1 that had the 4 h/light system
