1971 "Wrap Around" Tail Light Dimensions?

Post by supplyguy »

I may have found a rough pair from an online vendor but need to confirm they are wraparounds and not an installation from later year. Anyone know the dimensions on true 1971 tail lights? Many thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "wrap around", but the tail light dimensions on my 71 are 14" long x4" high. Are you talking about the license plate lamps in the bumper per chance?

No sir - the 71 tail lights are wider (longer?) and extend all the way to the outer edge of the fender, unlike other years that are perhaps a half inch shy. Finding many 71's modified to use later model lights more readily available. Just measured mine and they are 13" - and leave a gap. If I can confirm the seller's are 14" I'm in! Thanks for the info - very helpful.
