I've got a 1959 GMC Fleetside I'm in the process of restoring and it seems that Park lights for this bad-boy is definitely on the endangered list.
Any idea on where to source some park light lenses and/or assemblies for a '59 GMC?
thanks,

I did read of a small batch (10?) being made a few years ago but I doubt any are still on a shelf. I expect you'll have to settle for good used ones and they are somewhere between hen's teeth and frog hair on the scarcity list. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | The one listed from LMC truck is not a 1958-1959 gmc park light. It is in fact a cheaply reproduced 1955-1957 chevy park light. It DOES NOT INTERCHANGE with the GMC. Lugo parts and restorations had some re-popped gmc lenses available in limited numbers.

It is in fact a cheaply reproduced 1955-1957 chevy park light. It DOES NOT INTERCHANGE with the GMC. I wondered about that back when I saw the catalog, so let me ask a question in this area. What is the difference, the size? I ask because my fleet option 59 has similar lights and I don't know what GMC used although I've been told it was the reverse lamp lense on a step side.

The lamp assembly number for fleet option is 898835. | | | | | Joined: May 2008 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2008 Posts: 20 | WOW!! Thank you very much, another mystery solved. What is your Master Parts book, I have to get one.

Is that good enough or must it be a 'Master' parts book.
