56 headlight swap? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Will the auto type headlight buckets from the 55-57 car fit the 55-57 truck? Im willing to do a little metalwork if needed. Im finding auto HL buckets but not any decent truck buckets.

Thanks

Also in the LMC catalog http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=105 Item 8 on the second row.

Or are you looking for headlight doors aka rings?

I just use the LMC site as an example because it is easy to find stuff on.
