Wait... what's this supposed to look like?

I've got an '80 C10.

I just received an order from Brothers that included a pair of front turn signal housings. However, they don't look anything like what looks like should be in the empty holes in the headlight doors. It looks like I need just some rectangular lenses, but what I got in the box was a big plastic housing that is almost the size of the headlights on my 86. What is the front end of an '80 supposed to look like?

The signal housings didn't change until 81. In 81-82, the housings were in the front bumper!! In 83, they went behind the center grill. You have 81-82 housings.

I think that is correct for '80 with the rectangular headlamps. The ones you need are the same from '75-80 (with round headlamps). The 73-74 will physically interchange, but are amber lenses.

Good Afternoon,

You have the wrong lamp for the year of truck you have (in picture).
Lamp is for '80 with square H/L. I attached LMC catalogue page, You need item #4 upper left.
I hope this helps.

God Bless, Terry
