Lots of Grills on ebay, Zero lenses on ebay or Craigslist. So where is everyone going to get some lenses? I'm in the process of buying a donor van with all the lenses and hardware. While that deal is pending, I got clear lenses and headlight hardware from Bob for $45 bucks. I had never seen clear lenses, and although they fit perfectly, I would rather go with amber to add color up front and match the new side markers with the twin reflectors. I did alot of looking to see if I could find other lenses that would fit. The closest you can come is a set for the P20 vans. They are 1/2 short on the width, but the correct height. They also have the exact same "bullseye" lense pattern. With the properly cut back insert, I believe most vanners (and everyone else) would never notice the difference. These were $40 including shipping and came with the bulb housing and wiring. It's the colsest thing to NOS you will get since they are new pieces. What do you think?

I think the clear lenses look good.

I don't think anyone would really notice the difference especially if you fill in the edge gap with some rubber weatherstrip or something to close the hole. | | | Re: Vantankerous | Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 270 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 270 | I've contacted the manufacturer about making them for the G10 and G20's. Stay tuned.

I've been watching a '77 van sit for a while now and decided to buy the amber lenses. The van was attached to those lenses, so I'll be parting it out. Shorty77 is looking for bumpers. I should have it stripped down in a few days. A local hot rodder has spoken for the drivetrain which is a 350 with a turbo 400 trans and a 12 bolt rear. This van was bought by someone who wanted a bullet proof drivetrain.
