I'm in search of inner fender (2) and core support grommets (2) for my '59 1/2 ton. I'm not looking for the mounting grommets to the cab or frame as those are sold everywhere but the grommets i need are for running the park lamp wires through the radiator support and the head light wires through the inner fenders. Holes in metal seem to be 7/8". any source out there or thoughts? I've seen them for 55-57, but not for 58-59.
thx

Are they the same ones as shown on the end of the park light assy in the link Bill posted? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 65 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 65 | Mike and Bill-
Ding Ding Ding. Yes, now i get it. I'm restoring my '59 and i do have the original parklamps that have the rubber "boot" at the end and i never thought the wire stretched that far to mount the end into the radiator holes, but apparently they do which makes sense.
what's the deal then with the inner fender holes too? i believe the headlamps just have terminals and do not have affixed wires.

Grounds for the headlights are tied together from the headlights and grounded right behind the headlight buckets.
There is a flat grommet that goes in the hole centered right behind the headlights. It has 2 wires going through it (hi and lo beam). Those wires go through the inner fender and have the same rubber end that the parking light assy does. | | |
