<VV> Need front turnsignal socket for '64 FC

[shortle]

Hi Bob,
The headlite housing is the same for all FCs. If you want totally stock you will need an FC part. The wiring harnesses that plug into the vehicle are what make it different. But if bone stock is not a concern an early car can be made to work properly easily. What I like about these parts is they are easily serviceable.
