Hi everyone here is my 1954 GMC 470. I’m trying to find a lens for my beacon ray model 17. I have a bucket covering it from the weather.

You really should put this ad in the Parts Wanted section here on the Stovebolt...when you do, tell us if you are looking for Clear, Amber or Red and give us the inside diameter of the chrome skirt, they made two different lens sizes, but still called them Model 17's.

There were two versions of the model 17, with two slightly different size lens. I not long ago, restored these two model 17s, with rare glass amber lens.
