Hey all! Little about me. I'm Robert From Boise Idaho and I just picked up my first ever C-Body. It is a 78 Newport 4-door hardtop with the 400 wide block.

:sSig_greetingsthor:....nice looking Newport. A lot of nice looking cars in Idaho.
 
:sSig_thankyou:. I bought it from the grandson of the Original Owner. It was a garage queen then the last 2 1/2 years it sat outside. 61K original miles on her. All original with the 8 track and ALL.
 
Thanks guys. I do need a little help. I am having troubles finding a drivers front turn lens. Also I cannot figure out how to get EASY access to that darned fuse box under the dash. My brake lights are not working and it seems not to be the switch
 
Probably one of those you have to be a contortionist.... Good luck is all I have to say to that. Are you sure your switch just isn't out of adjustment? Anything else not working?

You probably know this but basically you have two choices. Be patient and check the usual suspects like swap meets, Craigslist, Kijiji and Ebay OR if you you want your part fast and don't mind paying a higher price check out the following:

That is really nice looking. I had to upgrade the stereo in mine today. Jut could not handle the 8 track player. lol
 
Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Nice car, I love them when they're original!
(I love them when they're not too, for the most part)
