Re: Period Correct Accessaries for your truck...
Got lucky with some old NOS chrome ones. They’re hefty.

Re: Period Correct Accessaries for your truck...
Good find, how did they mount up, i had to cut the wire where the little glass nubs came out on the bulb, plus, my screens mounted inside headlight retaining rings
Post up a pic of how you mounted them

Re: Period Correct Accessaries for your truck...
Jim – The K20 is at a local resto shop getting clear protectant film applied to the hood and lower body and a swap to the correct radiator. I had the shop add these screens as part of that work and wasn’t told of any issues. I’ll post back once the K20 is home and share the instructs. I’ve got another unopened pack of the same screens that I’ll add to my Blazer if I like the look so am curious myself. From what I can tell there are clips that mount deep to the retaining rings and which hold the screens in place.
