gd sedan taillights on a gc hardtop?
I'm trying to figure out if I can take the tailights off a gd 4 door galant and put them on my 76 colt galant hardtop. Which I think is a gc galant hard top.
Here are pics of the 76 I am buying and my old 74 which I'm pretty sure are the exact same.

These are the tails I am refering to. I want the whole setup center piece and all.

do a google search for the hardtop tail lights and try and get a look at the mounting, and check yours
someone else here might know though

Re: gd sedan taillights on a gc hardtop?
gd tail lights are much shorter then gc tail lights...and they mount differently...it would be possible with a bit of fabrication...but i personally wouldnt do it

it just looks close from the pictures. I'll have to pull off the tail and snap some pics when I go pick it up.
