| | | AHAS ANYONE COME UP WITH CHROME TAIL LIHGT BEZELS FOR THE LATER G SERIES VANS? | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 936 Likes: 36 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 936 Likes: 36 | Been working on my 91 "shorty" since purchased last fall. I always liked the chrome taillight bezels that were available for the earlier years. Wondering if anyone knows of anyone custom making bezels for the later years?
Thanks
Recently purchased (10-2021) a 1991 Chevy G-20 “Shorty”. Past vans are a 1976 Chevy G-10 (purchased new in 1976 & sold in 1995). A 1978 Chevy G-20 Shorty purchased in 2010 and sold in 2015.

Best bet is backdating as Neil mentioned. | | | Re: AHAS ANYONE COME UP WITH CHROME TAIL LIHGT BEZELS FOR THE LATER G SERIES VANS? | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 936 Likes: 36 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 936 Likes: 36 | Back dating? Guess you will have to explain that one……as far as I know the older style taillight lenses will not fit on the later years (mine is a 91) or will they? I was able find side marker light lenses that are larger then the earlier years and fit great.

Backdating, Meaning getting the earlier parts and putting them on your later van. the bezels will not fit with your taillights, but if you get the whole pre 85 assembly (Bezels, lenses, backing plates) and install them, it makes the van look like the earlier van. There is a very slight modification process that you will see once you go to install them due to the location of the bolts on the backing plate, if I remember correctly. | | | Re: AHAS ANYONE COME UP WITH CHROME TAIL LIHGT BEZELS FOR THE LATER G SERIES VANS? | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 763 Likes: 50 old hand | old hand Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 763 Likes: 50 | I made some by cutting the bases out of 7" square baking trays, takes a bit of fettling to make them work though. That is pretty slick! | | |
