Hello
so you need 4 ???
69 and 70 housings and fillers are NOT interchangeable
69 housing has a stud with threads on the back so the LOOSE c bracket gets
a washer and nut to pinch it to the valance the fiberglass surrounds
are totally different also,, ONLY use nos 69 surrounds as the fit the original valance
best ....

70 the screws on the front lense holds the assembly together with the new WELDED in place
bracket ..... also many of the later 70 nos gm valances had the bracket welded in incorrectly

just my observations.............

Page 92 of the current Ames Performance G38 catalog? My stuff is older so I can't tell by looking if parts are a proper match, but Ames is usually pretty good.

pictured is more than likely a 69
as
the 2 screws that hold the lense and bezel screw into the housing
if
this were a 70 the screw would snug up the lense and bezel to valance
and sitting like this in the picture it would be tough to hold assembly together
for the shot

thanks for the info. I have orders in with a few suppliers, and the first one that gets them I can purchase.

Since all the suppliers say they are backordered, I have to wait for someone to make them. Maybe the Firebird ones will work until we find some.

Backordered.

Firebird is NOT the same

I needed the same thing for my 70. Couldn't find them anywhere for months. Ames, OPGI, The Parts Place, and Year One all on backorder. Couldn't get anyone to sell me originals. Started fabricating some janky placeholders out of sheet aluminum because I just needed something. Finally found them at NPD:

As posted above, National Parts Depot is not backordered on housings. I had been waiting for 8 months for OPGI, Year One, TPP and Ames to get them and it just never happened. Finally I remembered NPD and sure enough, they have them in stock. Just got them last week and installed today.
