1949 tail light part

Postby bobscogin » Thu Sep 27, 2018 7:14 pm

Does anyone know of a source for the tail light connector plug 68155-34 that the tail light bulb seats against?

do ya want the dual filament to run with a brake light, or the single filament?

Mutt, mine has a stop light, so it's dual filament - two contacts. Also there's a rubber sleeve that goes on it where the wires come out 68050-50.

Bob, the rubber nipple is only used on the 1950-55 model tail lights 48-49 models didn't have the boot.
The vast majority of the 48-49 models didn't come with a brake light switch. They used a single filament plug. The lone green wire went into the SIDE of the plug, instead of the end. The single filament plug is one of the 3 hardest to find Hummer parts, along with 2 Western Union only parts. I have been looking for a NOS single plug for many years now, still have yet to find one. I should have that dual filament connector plug in stock tho

I should have been tipped off by the -50 part number suffix that the rubber nipple wasn't a '48-'49 part but I'm using a K Model parts catalog to reference the tail light part numbers and it got past me. I'll send you an email about the connector plug. Thanks--
