Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 19 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: May 2005 Posts: 19 | Are parking lamp fender holes the same from the 1947-1950 GMC era and the 1951-1953 GMC era? I need to know because I have two front fenders from 1953 that on which I would like to place the earlier, smaller, parking lamps. If the holes and the bolt connection holes are the same then I can move forward with this work.

1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 19 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: May 2005 Posts: 19 | Yes, this is only for fenders from a GMC from the later era.

This is a fairly common substitution. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 | sambear,
I think the GMC holes for the round parking lamps are different in different years, but I dot know when they changed. This topic and photos have been posted on the oldGMCtrucks.com website and discussion boards.

A GMC of the same era is a New Design. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 19 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: May 2005 Posts: 19 | Never knew GMC's from 1947.2 to 1955.1 were 'New Design'.
I am buying two 1949 parking lamp sets, so I hope to find a fender template to do the correct cutting.
