where to find 1951-1953 GMC front parking light bezel

I need help finding a pair of parking light bezels. Im talking about the round bezels underneath the headlight. Can anyone point the right direction? ive looked at several sights and i can only find later model bezels.

There has been some discussion on it in the past and as far as I know no one reproduces them.

Plenty of lenses and gaskets and led lens assemblies but no complete original style units or Bezels.

From what I gather most people are using 56 or so chevy truck lights..one sight says the same light is used on cars in several applications..http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Truck-...item281967120b

i think the later 50's vehicles had bigger lenses and bezels.. i did read somewhere a 50's Cadillac back up light used the same light assembly, but it had a different look to the lens. but i'm thinking the bezel is the same. i may give that a try if i cant find a GMC assembly bezel

the later 55-59 lights are much larger, they look good, I used them on my 1947, but the smaller lights are nicer in my admittedly dim opinion.

that isnt the correct style bezel it has a tab and a hole, the 47-53 GMC has two holes.

the lenses are available aftermarket because (I have heard) the 53 corvette uses the same parking light assembly, looking on ebay it looks like the bezels are available for the corvette too. (this is a used set, I think I have seen new lens/gasket/bezel sets)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-1954-19...-/161684898657


again, this is me repeating hearsay, something I have heard, but looking at the parking light assembly for the corvettes it sure looks to be true. your experience using this info may vary. worth a shot.

if you need the complete assembly, I think you are out of luck. I dont think they are repopped
