br0k3N18 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Bought it when I got my block and fenders in Ohio, but never took the time to worry about them or anything... I threw them in my box and went about my day, well I was workin on the 52 tryin to straight some grille pieces and needed to remove my lense (Original) to beat on the housing.... and I decided to compare them...wait.... WTF! These dont fit!!! the package clearly says 51-62...Shoulda knew something was wrong.....~57+(I think?) uses different lenses...didnt think anything of it, but these basterds are too big! I got them from Vans Automotive, they had a booth out there in Ohio...anyways, contacted them yesterday at 10am no response so far....im not even worry about returning them or getting my money back it was like $20 i'll ebay them or something, but anyways... Right - Correct Lense Left - Vans Auto CellPhone Picture.... Quote
Young Ed Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 The small one looks like a cowl lense for a 41-47. Which one is the one you need left or right/ Quote
oldmopar Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 The one on the right looks like the parking lights on my 59 power giant. Quote
br0k3N18 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Posted September 11, 2009 I actually dont need either, bought them on the intentions of using them for the 52...but I found 2 good lenses in a box of parts my grandpa forgot to give me, Yeah I assumed the were for something atleast 57+ because I think 51-56 uses the same lense Quote
Reg Evans Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Here's the lens and bezel on my 52. And here's the one on my 58 Sweptside. Looks like about 1/2" difference in the c. to c. measurement for the mounting screws. Is the one on the right in your photo a one piece lens made of plastic? If so it's a reproduction. Quote
br0k3N18 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Posted September 11, 2009 Right is a plastic, I know its a repop, material didnt even matter to me, I shoulda know, cause if you notice, the screws are in the lense for the 57 lenses, the 53 lense has no screw holes in lense, Quote
Jim Gaspard Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 I have an original glass set of parking light lenses on my frame-off B3B truck and a plastic set on my B3B driver. One of the plastic lenses had a crack and I found an identical plastic replacement, mfg GloBrite 9650. http://sites.google.com/site/guidetotaillightcodes/Home/aftermarket-page-5 I found mine in the GloBrite catalogue from O'Reilly's Auto Parts, and it is listed for the 1951-62 Dodge truck as well as 1976-86 Jeep Waggoneer. Good luck! Quote
