Hi Jack,
I don’t remember a part number but the owner’s name is Steve Malm. He worked with me to come up with a bulb that would fit the round bullet fixtures in the Clasco so he might well remember. Here is a part of the discussion at the time, part of one of my emails to him after he sent some of the round two pin LEDs that were close but not quite right:
"Hi Steve,
Thanks for hanging in there with me on this one. Attached are pictures of the fixtures both in place and close up. As you can see there are a bunch of them inside this restored GMC motor home. There are two types, a one bulb fixture and a two bulb fixture. They are somewhat different inside but similar enough to take the same bulbs. The one bulb fixture is just slightly too small in diameter to accept these latest bulbs. I only needed to grind off about .020 to make them fit which you can see in the close up shots of the LED bulbs. They would fit into the two bulb fixture but were a tight fit and some of the side LEDs were covered making me think they might overheat with prolonged use.
An ideal bulb would be a bit smaller in diameter and about this same length. Ideal color would be a bit lower on the Kelvin scale, more around 3500 to 4000K. And, they do not need to be as bright as these bulbs (ever heard too bright before!).”

Jerry,
Do you recall their part number for the custom bulb you mentioned?
