77/78 original headlight bucket color?
« on: March 21, 2012, 08:07:55 PM »
I've been searching for a while and figured the worst question is the one not asked.  I've got a 78k that came with a righteous vetter front end.... when i took it off it somehow tripped and fell into a dumpster.  In looking for a headlight oem replacement I can't seem to find a solid answer to whether it's a chrome bucket or a black one.  Question number two:  The speedo and tach, matte black or gloss finish?  I appreciate the feedback.

Both my '77F and my '78K have black buckets. The gauges are a satin black or, if you prefer, semi-gloss, in Chrome holders.
