70-72 Cutlass Side Marker Light Housings

I have a bunch of leftover side marker light lens but no housings. Looking for 8 - 10 nice clean housings with good studs and minimal pitting.

Thanks,
Scott

I might be able to come up with some, give me a day or two. Do you want only the chrome housings or do you want the natural ones also?

All of these need a good cleaning but the chrome is nice & the studs are pretty nice. Some are chrome, some are natural. The ones with lenses are either cracked or scratched, great for what you're wanting I think? $10.00 each plus shipping & I'm sure I can come up with another for an even 10?

On the 1970 and 71 Supreme they had the three inch wide body side moldings and the pot metal area (chrome) of the side marker lights was almost completely covered by that molding and you could not tell if it was chrome or not so I'm sure Oldsmobile did it to save a little money. So the natural ones are only used on those the 1970 and 71 Supreme whether it was a 2 door or 4 door or convertible.
