I don't have any old ones so I am hoping somebody can give me a measurement for where to cut the holes in the new fenders.
thanks in advance

Turn signals were an option and usually installed on top of fenders. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 22 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 22 | Thanks for info, that really helps me out.

He got the info he needed and thanked the info provider. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 22 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 22 | I posted the same question on the Old GMC Truck forum the place I expected a response and received nothing.
Thanks again for the response.

At that time new housings were not available and I think it was the same for the glass. I found out that the parking lights for a 57 Chev truck looked almost identical. I used them and they came with dual bulb sockets. All the truck vendors sell them. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | instead of paying $250 for something labeled "Corvette" you could get the same thing as 55-57 truck for $25 ...... and support a site sponsor  Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | The '55-57 Chevy truck lenses look similar but are not correct. If you don't care about correct they will fool most people. | | |
