  • Lenses

    Would someone please be so kind as to tell me what year or years of taillight lenses will fit in my 54' K body housings? I would like to go with 55' lenses but do not know what will fit or if I need to get housings and bezels for a 55'. Are sedans and HT's the same? Thank you for your help.

    You will need to acquire '55 or '56 C/K housing/bezels to use the '55 lenses. They will bolt on your '54 K body w/o any changes. You cannot use sedan housings as they are larger/different.

    I may be interested in your '54 K housing/bezels, depending upon the condition.

        I guess it is totally a matter of taste, but I can't imagine how a '55 looks any better to SOME people than a '54!
        You do have to remember that '55-'56 C & K Tail lights, were made to fit a completely DIFFERENT HEIGHT (width) Bumper than the '53-'54 Housings.

        The only cool thing about '55 Housings is you can use a '56 Lense for a completely different look and it is a good one!

        I sure can see how a '54 Housing & lens is MUCH prettier than a '53 though!
