does anyone know of a front park light conversion kit to add a dual element bulb for the addition of turn signals on the 48-53 chev/gmc trucks? i have a really nice original truck in this week that had some "tractor lights" added to the tops of the fenders for turn signals. i shaved those off & would really like to converge the turns into the park housings.

WITH HELP FROM THIS SIGHT I JUST CHANGED A 48 FORD OVER. I BOUGHT A DUAL WIRE KIT FROM AUTO ZONE AND REMOVED MY OLD WIRE AND REPLACED IT WITH THE DUAL WIRE IT WORKED GOOD FOR ME

thats the problem with the gm. the original housing slides thru the fender & has a piece of threaded rod running straight out the back that mounts the whole assembly. i have enough "scratch built" fabricating to do now as it is with the other projects. just looking for a quick fix on this one.

we sell a pair of diodes that allow for park & turn signals from a single filament light bulb. two diodes cost $12 easy the wire and no other changes are necessary. ronhotrod@yahoo.com

ron,


will that diode work o.k. with the original 6 volt system? sounds like that might be the best solution on this one.

as far as I know it shpuld. a diode is merely a one way current flow lock that prevents the current from from returning to its source. You should have no trouble on a negative ground system either 6 or 12v.
