Taillight protector cones
EDIT: This is for 61 and 62 only.
I just replaced the rear harness and all 4 tailight housings.
Over the years, stuff sliding around in the truck had beat them up pretty badly. My car did not have protector cones in place.
So I bought a set.. but I'm not 100% sure how they install..
Anyone have a photo of the installed on the back of the tailight housing?
I'm guessing it mounts on one of the posts... on top of the nut holding the housing in place... with a 2nd nut??
Thanks,
Fred

Wrap a little blue painters tape on the top stud and push the cone on. The wires run out the notch in the cone,
