Seems no one remakes a complete assembly though I was able to buy new glass. I just don't know how it is retained to the beat up bulb housing I have | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,538 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,538 | Check out the Discussion Boards of, www.oldgmctrucks.com | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 319 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 319 |

And thanks for the link to that GMC truck site. I did not know about that one. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 | vik, here is the sister site: http://www.oldgmctrucks.com/I think the site is static now but Rob has some photos of parts that he has available. I would imagine that he could fix you up with what you need. Personally I didn't bother with original lights but used the later Chev lights which are available new with the dual bulbs. They look very similar.

Sometimes people are selling complete assemblies. I know that I sold my original ones off my 1949 GMC because the P.O. had enlarged the holes in the fenders so much that they didn't fit anymore. Ended up buying '51 to '53 assemblies which were just a tad larger and they look very much like the originals. As the other posters stated, Rob at oldgmctrucks may have some. Another person you can try is Mother Trucker in AZ. That's where I bought my lights. Not cheap but he has a large supply of trucks and can probably take care of what you need. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 582 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 582 | There's a set up for sale on ebay right now but they are not original to the 1949 AD series. The seller thinks that they are but they appear to me to be a substitute brand | | |
