Headlamp ring

[madmax908]

I replaced the bulb on my '87 c20 that has single headlamps (I have two headlamps total, each with an integral hi/low beam).
Unfortunately I broke the tabs on the headlamp retaining ring.
I see Dorman offers a replacement kit http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-7574...Kit&origin=YMM

I dont want the whole kit for $50 https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-42437-...s=dorman+42437, I just want the ring for my 6054 bulb.

I see there are rings for the same bulb, on jeeps https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-42430-...s=Dorman+42430 and fords http://www.ebay.com/itm/Headlight-Re...3D172153263670 and chevy s10's http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-S10-He...RWwdrY&vxp=mtr

Will any of these other rings that fit 6054 bulbs fit my c20?
Is GM p/n 5969466 the correct part number for the ring?

anyone?

Common for the tabs to break when removing the ring after all these years. I would try to find one at a recycle yard near you. The Jeep ring may work but not sure if the tabs are in the same place as your original.

Most of these trucks are gone by me, rusted and crushed years ago. Only the more valuable late model cars remain.

Anyone else know the answer?

You can use a Dorman 42407, which retails for about $10. It has more than one set of mounting holes in the tabs, so it fits many different GM, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, etc models that use the 6052/H6054 sealed beams.

I knew someone had the answer.
Thank you!

I got the Dorman 42407 from Amazon and it fit great.
No more "headlight droop" on one side!
