Arcticmack Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I was wondering what the reason for using Aluminum fender housings ya know that part that houses the headlight on each side of the fenders.I have found some and was wondering if they would bolt up to a b63 series I found these from a guy here that has some that came off of a b61 I think Or a 73?... I thought that the bolting pattern was the same on the two, at least they looked like it. I know that mine are steel and was wanting to put the Aluminum ones on Polished ya know!!. might just be a pipe dream but if it could be done they would look great with a chrome radiator crown.

terry Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 If the headlight panels are off a B73 they are narrower than a regular B61 panel, the B73 has a wider radiator than a b61, you could put the whole front off a B73, but the hood has to be completely redone. terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 my '53 B-20 has one aluminum headlight panel.It's the standard sheet metal panel found on most B's,not the heavy cast one like on the 70 series B's.The other was missing when I got the truck.Only one I've ever seen,or heard of.
