Headlamp questions

[Bob Carriere]

...similar to the alum. paint from CDN tire.... there is a shiny silver paint used by plasyic aircraft modellers that would be even better from the shine/reflection standpoint. I have seenold reflectors repaired with rubber cement (Staples) and HD aluminium foil glue in place.

How different is the UC Ford headlight from the Chevy cab11/12 headlight??????

Price of lens can be crazy.... a few weeks before Xmas a pair of Chevy 1939 lens in original boxes went for $305 US bucks!!!!

Do a regular check off Ebay the range from $12 or 15 to $55 US...
It pays to be informed before bidding.

I have acquired a dozen or so complete NOS 1942 Chev 1 1/2 ton headlights... complete from lens to wiring pigtails...... not all unpacked yet..... they all have lens, bulbs, reflectors, etc.......BUT.. I am not sure how interchangeable they are with other GM parts.......

I will initiate a detailed new thread with pictures in the next few weeks.......

Here is a sample of what they look like....
