Need a Part Number - 1941

[Swifster]

I know many of you guys have manuals for everything. I need the part number for the tail lamp housing/socket for 1941. Chuck Collins has the lens and bezels, but didn't see a housing. Any ideas?

housings are hen's teeth....the rodders love them and usually go for over $100. each....tho recently I've seen them for just under $100. on eBay.

Give Bob Kapteyn a call at Joliet Studebaker...
He can get the number for you, and probably has one.

Tom,

Google is your friend! Take a look at this company who makes repro housing for the hot rod bunch: www.alchemy.itslow.com/

Whether they are 'perfect' repros suitable for a high-dollar restoration, I'm not sure.

p.s., if the link doesn't work the first time, try a couple more times. For some reason (at least for me) it would only work one time out of three or so. Weird...... An alternate path that seemed to work every time is here: http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?...941_Studebaker

If I am reading my parts book correctly, they are:

Chrome bezel-# 276844
Red lens-#276688
lens gasket-#276692
bulb holder(with cable)-#276833
Body gasket-#274674

There is really not much to that bulb holder, just a plate with socket attached. It does not have an enclosed reflector, and the tail lights will provide light to the trunk at night.

Paul and Skyway, these were exactly what I needed. These would be going on a '40 Ford. I know Chuck Collins sells the repop lenses and steel bezels, but I knew those couldn't be the only pieces. The assembly that Paul mentioned is what I referred this gentleman to so that we're not sacraficing any gennie parts.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
