rear and side lamp style

[Svenn Ryen]

Thanks guys!! What about the two different sizes on the brackets?? Any idea?

The tall one has holes for countersunk bolts on "outside" on the top

Does anyone have any close up pictures of original setup and wiring?

My C15 A came with this box with parts.

There are several lamps in it. Bad picture, but perhaps someone of you know what type these are and for what vehicle these are for?

The single red brake lamp worked off a pressure switch at the back of the master cylinder and could be isolated by a switch on the dash.

The pair of red tail lamps could be turned on with a switch on the dash, but from there the current went to a switch at the rear of the vehicle (a toggle switch on Fords marked 'red/white' and a dimmer switch on Chevs). Flip this switch one way and the current lit up the pair of red tail lamps. Switch it the other way and it lit up the 'white' lamp shining on the rear, white painted differential.

Thanks. Great picture!

What is the purpose for the white lamp?

I see on the wiring diagram in the manual there are two tail lamps, one stop lamp, and one lamp reffered to as "sub" lamp? Is this the column lamp underneath the vehilcle pointing to the white painted diff housing?

And how does the trailer connector look like?

Hello Svenn,

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I just posted a photo yesterday in the restoration forum of a tail light exactly like the ones in your post #8. I thought maybe that type might be correct for my 1940 8cwt CMP with a replica British rear body....but not certain by any means.

I too am interested in finding out what type vehicle these tail lights are used on...anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you,
David

I wonder about the white lamp in the socket too. What's the date on the box? Almost all the period photos (factory and field) show the three red light configuration. The white lamp for the differential is the same as a regular lamp except is has an additional 4" long (or so) sleeve with a cap holding a clear lens held on by a clamp.
