'51-'52 parking lights

Can anyone post a close pic of the parking light assemblies on an unmolested '51-'52 F-1 or up truck ? A pic from the outside & inside the fender would be greatly appreciated . Thanks Denny

What exactly do you want to see? I believe I have some of the original fixtures, but not mounted. The ones I have mounted are repros and fit poorly, could be my lower valance is the problem tho.

Here's a shot of mine, which I believe are stock except for the lenses. I looked for something worthwhile to show from inside, but there's nothing to see.

I believe the stock lens retainers were all painted.

I want to make those my turn signals. Put yellow lenses in mine like above. Just have to figure out what type of fixture I can adapt to fit into them? What pics do you need?

Look in my build thread starting at post #207.
I converted mine to turn signals.

Progress on the lights With the help of Ross & posted pics by others we figured out the correct style screw for the retainer bezel (originals were painted Argent Silver or Sungate Ivory ) . Now for a pic of underneath for the correct routing of the wire for the parking light & we are in business . Thanks to all .
