I have a '66 LWB. Anybody have a clue where I could get the front parking lite sockets ? I THINK the ones that are on it are off something else as they don't fit in the receptacles rite. Also I think my next job is going to be a wiring harness but somebody put a tilt steering column in it and I can see hooking up the turn signals being a little problem. HELP !

Most are GM anyway. You probably will either need a half cresent (ignition NOT on column) or straight column connection (ignition mounted on the column). On the parking light sockets, were you meaning the electrical sockets or the housing it twists into? Check the housing to see if it's ready for prime time. If it looks OK, the good rewire kit should also have those electrical connections. ( Can you say Painless or Ron Francis?) OH ! One more place to try..... HERE !! Part # 47-545 DValentine
Yeah I dont know what the column is out of, was already there when I got it. I was talking about the sockets themselves. They wont twist in like they're suppose to. Havent been able to find em anywhere. I was figuring on using Chevy Duty for the wiring harness beings its right here in town and can see what I'm getting. Thanks for the input. Appreciate it.
Is the light sockets the ones that are in the hood? If so they have a tab on them and they go into place only one way. This tab faces the front of the truck. I hope this helps. David
Yeah they are the ones in the hood but they just fall into the holes. Thats why I know they aren't the rite ones. Just can't find any replacements.

Try this part number # 52-512. I used the number from the listing above. The price was wrong too. I should have said $25.95. Still, $25 is pretty cheap to fix that. DV
