007, the reels you are referring to, what do they look like? I bought a '49 Sub several years ago and ther was a bucket of small mechanical pieces that I cannot recognize. There are numerous arms and hinge looking items.I also have some kind of strange looking tailigth thing too; the only one i've ever seen is on a post here: I must be crazy to restore a 47-53 Suburban, its the light sticking up on the roof. Any help identifying these parts would be helpful. I'll try to post pictures.
