Hey guys,
I have seen the lights Ed mentions in some literature from a "school bus" ad with a Greenbrier in it... I think the Amblewagon has them too? Maybe those are different shaped...
Ed, scour eBay... I'll look through my stuff and see if I can find any photos or details on the lights...
Terry, the lenses were somewhat flat, but not completely... if I can dig up a picture at lunch I'll post it.
Later,
Lonzo

Were the lenses flat or conical?  was the lens color the same on both sides?  
Any estimate of the diameter of the lens?

year but have had no luck.I'm restoring (painfully slowly) a 62 Corvan Bell 
telephone truck and know that some states required fleet trucks to have two 
lights in front to function as turn signals.On a Corvan these were mounted on 
the panel at the corners of the windshield. They were round black painted metal 
with an amber lens on both sides (front&back).I did see a part number 987931 but 
not sure if it's correct.I believe these were also used on the big big rigs 
usually sticking out of the front fenders on the sides.I don't believe these are 
reproduced by Chevy truck vendors,or ever will be.I did manage to find a mint 
roof mounted working spotlight made by Unity as well as various Bell items that 
would be on this truck (i.e. flashlight,first aid kit,etc).Hopefully I'll live 
long enough to finish this project!!! LOL. Ed in Florida
