Does anyone have links or part numbers for tail light sockets for a 72 Gran Torino? I have already ordered various wrong part numbers just because a website says it fits my vehicle. Most websites selling these sockets don’t list dimensions and then they end up not fitting. Any help would be appreciated. |

Yes! If you give me a day or two, I'll be posting the rebuilding of my tail light buckets! If you need to know immediately, I can get you the part numbers. ------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |

Great write up for sure! Your final product looks great and you provided some really good information, including where to find a new gasket for the lenses!! Thanks for all of your help, one last question what did you use to polish the plastic. |

Use can use plastic polish, or a really fine metal polish like made for billet aluminum. You can also use Meguires Scratch-X. And believe it or not, you can even polish plastic with toothpaste  .------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |
