Look what came in the mail today! Spot light brackets... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a pair of factory, inner and outer spot light brackets for '60-'63--NOS!

Driver's side AND passenger side!

The guy also had NOS inners and outers for both sides for my '54 Buick Special, so I grabbed them, too.

Cost?
Dunno... he combined them with a factory Mopar driver's side spot light for our '76 PowerWagon.

I paid too much, I'm sure... but they're NOS... they aren't making these anymore, but they ARE printing more money, so once you put it in the proper perspective, it was an easy decision.

The instructions say to drill through the interior panel from the outside using the bushing. Make a template after drilling through the drivers side first then transfer the location to the passenger side and drill from the interior for the interior bracket. Mine are slightly off and unless you know, it's annoying.

Yeah. I installed one pair on my ‘61 Suburban already. Actually did a magazine story on installing spot lights for Hot Rod Delux.
These didn’t come with the template... I think I kept the template from the last time though. There is actually a factory template to locate the holes. Just flip it over for the passenger side.
