BuddyJohn56 BuddyJohn56 Member Registered: 03/21/08 Posts: 22 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Are 55 and 56 tail light interchangeable? I have seen a 56 with 55 tail light housings. They look to have the same rear quarters and even the same outside shape to the housing. Thanks a lot for the help. _________________________ John 'Buddy' 1967 Lincoln Continental Hot Rod project 1984 GMC Sierra 4x4 Long box 400 small block 2006 GMC Sierra SLT aluminum block 5.3 Maybe a 1956 Buick Special Riviera coupe!...need some help on that though so read my posts!

The 55's are pretty wide, while the 56's are somewhat thinner. But the Special and Century both employ a wide chrome bezel in both years and they might fit. _________________________ John C.
