Are L and R headlight pots the same on 65? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm missing the headlight pots and want to order new ones. Catalogues show left and right part numbers but when I look at the backer assemblies bolted to the rad support the springs and plastic nuts/adjuster bolts are in identical positions.

Here's a real good post showing presumably factory headligh assemblies in the grill being taken apart. There are similar questions there and pictures, answers etc. May help - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=614918

Thanks Rocknrod. Able to confirm there is no left or right for our trucks. Not sure why so many vendors show left and right. Ecklers actually shipped a left and backordered a right.
It also looks like some controversy whether the spring hooks to bucket only or both buck and s/s ring.
