Not really aftermarket; they are dealer replacments.

Those lights aren't correct for your bus.

And I don't think they are repro. Right, guys? That would be sooo great! Very Happy

Yes, to confirm this - this is correct and probably what nlorntson meant too.

As I said above, I do not know of any reproductions of this taillight style.

I don't see this style listed in his ads but it might be worth asking him.

I believe he does repro the 58-61 style. I posted the sbl 17 for the o.p.

Am I missing something? What you posted is not the style he was requesting and do not match the first post in this thread.

The first post the guy is incorrect in thinking he needs dollar taillights when he has a January of '57 bus. He should have SBL 17 lights. I was posting for him or who ever needs the info.
Look at Kirbyland's post.
