Head Light Mount Buckets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

does any one know if the 73 chevy pickup has the same head light bucket as the 72 c/10? the reason i am asking is i cant find knew buckets for my 72. i ordered new ones from lmc, but they were for any earlier model. i called everyone i could think of and was told by all that the 72 bucket has not been reproduced yet. i called the local chevy dealer and was told they can only go back to 73. so if the 72 and the 73 are the same i can order them from the chevy dealer.

Never heard of replacing just them since they are welded to the core support.
You might just want to consider swapping out the support, I know it would be
more difficult, but that way you are assured the buckets line up with the grill.

you have confused the headlight mounting bucket with the bucket mount. my core is perfect. the bucket mount is held to the core by adjusting screws and a retaining spring

i have a perfect radiator core support, the buckets that are attached to the core are perfect as well. i need the head light mounting buckets that the actual head light sits in. the head light mounting bucket is attached to the core head light bucket by 2 adjusting screws and one retaining spring. it is totally separate from the rad. core.

Yeah, I got your drift after the second post, cofused on the first one. I would think there would be tons of used ones around on the classifieds, doesn't seem like an area people have much of a problem with. No rust gets up in there and no moving parts, so to speak

7" bulb is the same in 72 as 73 and up 1/2 to 1 ton truck-burb-jimmy check the part # 73 and up they should be the same # . 463
