I'm curious on how the parking lamp assemblies attach to the grill. Anyone know?

Also, on some original trucks I have seen there is a piece of rubber seal that goes around the outside edge of the parking lamp bezel. For those who have restored these trucks what did you use (if anything) as a replacement for this seal?

Any help would be appreciated.

They attach with a bracket that the lens bolts thread into.

Thanks Cletis. Does that bracket just snap into the opening in the grill or what? It doesn't look like it's actually bolted to the grill.

Anyome know about the rubber seal?
