I have a 1953 GMC and can't figure out how the parking lamp housing attaches to the fender. The housing has two very small studs (1/4" long) that are not lomg enough to get through the fender. I appreciate any help and a schematic would be great.

Thanks

John

Hey John,
Those studs are supposed to be a bit longer. When bolted down to the fender, the nut sits about a quarter inch from the light housing. The nuts are usually rusted on and the stud breaks right about there. I've removed two sets and bought a third off Ebay. The two sets I removed all broke despite liberal amounts of Kroil penetrating oil. The set from ebay was broken also. I was able to weld a similar size stud to what was left on the housing and then grind and rethread. They came out pretty decent and usable.
Hope this helps! grin
