Wanted: 1933 Chevy Tail Light Arm
« on: January 06, 2013, 12:06:32 PM »
I'm looking for the passenger side tail light arm (without license plate bracket) for my 33 Chevy.
Thanks,
Tom

Took me a while to locate (2) 33-34 Chevy taillight horns for my 33 coupe.. When I did..both were driver side with license plate bracket.  I recently removed the mounting tab on one and made a filler panel. Couldn't locate the small rivets that holds the mini panel in...so I used (3) round screws and flattened the inside like rivets and used brass to close the screw driver slot.

Now going to use the horns on my 34 coupe instead (removing the Nova tailights in the tailpan)

Found a pair of chrome repro 33-34 Ford horns on ebay for $30 brand new..(lucky) They work great with the Speedway stainless 55-59 Chevy pickup truck taillights. The brake LED lights are real bright...actually hurts to look at them.

FYI: There is an outfit on eBay that sells a "shorty" version of the 33-34 Ford horns...I bet they would look good with the Chevy truck lights.

Speedway has this solid casting for $40.  You have to drill it out and radius it for the fender.  I may just go with this if I can't find an original.

These guys list them.I don't if they're cast or not but they show a picture and they look stamped. Maybe worth a try.

Moose,
I send them an email. I've bought parts from them before. Great people to work with.
Thanks,
Tom

Hope they (I&I) aren't out of stock again. 

I'd send an email to the link below "1933-1935 Buy/Sell Chevy Parts" he may have a used one. Bought parts from him in the past...great to deal with.

My original plan was to make a mold and make a set in fiberglass...then I found the Ford units.

Called I&I and they are still out of stock on both arms and the tail light housings. I'm on their list and will get a call when they come in but they didn't know when that will be.  I'll try "1933-1935 Buy/Sell Chevy Parts" and see what they have.

I have been on that waiting list about 2 years now.  Found one via the VCCA and the other locally.

Tried AAA Parts and 1933-1935 Buy/Sell Chevy Parts but no luck.  I'll keep searching  :)

Found one!  I won this one on EBay.  It's a reproduction and from the pictures looked pretty nice.  I read the reviews of others that bought the same one and they were happy with it.  I'll let you know when I get it.  Here's a pic.

Good deal....would be interested in how it works.  Did you mention this forum to the seller in case they has more Chevy parts.

I was going to tell him about it when I get an email from him.  It looks like he does have other parts.  I'll find out what he has.

If anyone else is looking for a 33 - 34 Master 35 Standard Tail Light Bracket, these are great quality.  I got them off of EBay from a vendor called "chevi-shop".  Here are a couple of pictures compared to the original one I had.
