Help! i have a customer who needs these replaced and have found some at www.oldchevytrucks.com but they are discontinued! any where i can buy new ones? thanks! oh it is a 1958 GMC 100

To the best of my knowledge they are not being reproduced. About 10 years ago Jim Carter was selling reproductions but no longer is. Then there was an eBay seller with a metal version he was selling, they looked similiar but not original.

I bought mine on eBay as GMC NOS about 10 years ago. The last complete set I heard of sell there was for $1350.....

Rumor on Stovebolt a couple of summers ago was that Pat Wilson was designing a reproduction set. Try emailing him at patwilsondesign@nc.rr.com

He lists the cone lenses for these lights on his website http://www.patwilsondesign.com/products2.html

1958 and 1959 GMC parking light cone lenses reproduced to exact likeness thru a mold process. $75.00 for the pair.

They are not reproduced. If you watch the American Pickers show on TV you will have noticed that in at least two episodes they have walked by old TF GMC's with the grill and lights intact, not knowing what they were passing. I am always on the prowl for them when I look for parts.

thanks northern, i will get a hold of him soon!

It was posted on stovebolt yesterday that http://www.lugoparts.com/ may have some 58/59 front signal lights. I had never heard of them but the specialize in 55-59 Chev and GMC trucks.

If it's the lenses only, aren't they the same as 55-56 chevy? LMC lists them as such...
http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?page=106
Or are you referring to the part behind the lens?

Update, stumbled across this tonight.

958 and 1959 GMC parking light bezel lenses reproduced to exact likeness thru a mold process. $180.00 for the pair. These are clear only and would require a chrome paint finish to look correct. These are an exact duplicate of the original clear down to the "R" and the "L" plus the original numbers! Shipping is $6.10 US only

I emailed Pat several weeks ago and after a week or more, I got a response stating out of stock.

I bought mine in pieces, rh frame separate from lh and the cones separately. The $1350 set was bought by a guy in Saskatoon that I meet at a car show. Maybe that is the set you sold?

59chevy310p · 01-07-2017, 01:24 AM

I was gonna say on ebay for 1200 they and some, I'm in the works of figure out how to reproduce them on a 3D printer my buddy has. I lucked out a bought a pair of a guy at g-sale that a guys had on a truck in the woods for 100 bucks

'72_GMC · 08-07-2017, 04:57 PM

Anything new on this? I'm Busy with the Superglue, might work, not looking so Great, the metal pieces will work with a little welding, and my cones, somebody tightened the screws too tight and broke the bottoms out of the screw holes, I am considering gluing a washer in there, maybe work?

I have been unable to get any Response out of Pat, I called and eMailed too
