The catalogs I took a quick look at don't list wire grommets for the park-light buckets on 47-53 GMC 1/2 tons. Will one of the standard firewall grommets work? And what about the park-light lens gaskets? Jim Carter has the bezel to fender gaskets.

A couple days before, the wife bought a ceiling fan and after the installation was done, I had a couple extra grommets for mounting the fan blades - perfect fit!!

If you think you can or if you think you can't, either way you're right.

Don't know how I got this posted twice. Maybe shouldn't have gazed at it afterwards.
Thanks again.

They also sell everything individually. | | |
