I need to replace the headlight buckets on my '56 GMC model 150 pickup. I know I can get 'em from parts vendors, but I am putting it back on the road as quickly and and as inexpensively as possible. I'm scrimping on everything but the brakes. Does anyone know if any later model truck or car buckets will fit? I may just need to go to the junkyard with a tape measure.
thanks,
Dave
Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55
