I need help locating a headlight shell for this military Dodge.

Lonesome7.3 · 07-18-2009, 07:16 PM

As you can see this is a nothing special 89 Dodge cab and front clip. I want to replace the busted headlight and turn signal shell with the same OD color that is on the passenger side. Obviously I am not going to locate one in a salvage yard. Do any of you have any ideas?

i have a chrome brush grill that will fit on that. not exactly what you are looking for but will keep an eye out. stuff like that is somewhat easy to find around here. dodge is not a huge seller around these parts.

I might require another grill as well.

bradrhale · 07-19-2009, 06:48 AM

when i say chrome grille, i meant the type that mounts to the bumper and covers up the grill on the truck.

Oh. Yeah, I have no need for one f those. This is going to be a street driven truck.

It's a standard Dodge housing sprayed OD before assembly. You should be able to get an unpainted one easy enough, or just pick one up from a scrapyard and spray it.

It it come down to it, that is what I will do. I was hoping to locate one already done though.

You might be able to locate an old m880 i believe is what the military version was. They should be OD green.
