Looking for front parking lights/turn signal for my 41 chevy coupe. Not looking for original rectangular lights. Looking for round light with clear lense about 2" - 3" diameter with a chrome ring. Have found Lucas light with glass lenses but they seem to be very expensive. Anyone else installed other lights that are similar?
Over here you can buy similar plastic marker lights for small trailers at about 5 euro a pair. Chrome ring and all.
Didn't late 55 through 57 Chevy pickups have what you want as park lights? Then I believe GM used the same pieces for backup lights from 60 to 65 fleetside pickups/Suburbans? Look those up, it might work
'47-'48 Ford parking lights are just a little bit bigger than 3", have easy to polish stainless steel ring, a vintage looking clear "bullseye" lens, a flat mounting surface, and best of all they can be usually be found for next to nothing at swap meets (at least around here).
There was a vendor, I think his handle was "taillight King" that had all sorts of different lenses. I think what you might be happy with, are generic back up light lenses, I think Unity was the manufacturer. Used on commercial trucks and such, back in the day.
Try looking through United Pacific's online catalog. They sell them with regular lamps, or the not so traditional LED lamps.
Backup lights from a C-10 say '63-'66. Park lights from a Willys jeep from '48-65 repops are cheap if you can find originals. like about 30 bucks a pair cheap, glass lenses included.
Like the look of the 47 48 ford lights. Is 24 dollars each a good price for these? plus 12 dollars shipping....seems a little pricey but not sure. Thoughts??
Did you find (or decide on) one? 47 Ford http://macsautoparts.com/early-ford...truck-6a-13200/camid/FP1/cp/JS0R3CHL1142028E/
