Lights come in the early war rubber pattern and the later war metal pattern.

Unless he has sold out Dirk has both types for sale.

Hi,

Cab 11 and 12 have a rubber bodied lamp, with a red lens for the rear and clear or opaque lens for the front. Blackout masking is by a steel disc with a small hole that fits under the rubber lip. These contain a single filament bulb, and there are two as Tail lights on either side and a 3rd one is fitted to the right side as a Brake light.

The Cab 13 has a steel tube style lamp, and again these are fitted with single filament bulbs with one either side as Tail lights, and a 3rd for Brake. These feature a red lens on the rear and a white lens on the front. The same lamp is used with an extension tube for convoy illumination of the rear differential.

Hello

I would to ask a question about CMP LIGHTS for a cab 13 FORD F60L. On the dash board we have a serial of switch witch are (from top to bottom) PANEL LIGHT, SIDE, SIDE AND TAIL, SIDE TAIL AND HEAD , STOP ISOLATION.
When SIDE switch and TAIL SWITCH are in ON position that means than the lights on front mudguard are lighted and also the lights on the rear of the truck (One on each side)
I would like to know how many lights where designed for STOP (One on each side ?)

Regards Serge

I recall when auto surplus in Mitcham ( then part of the Hancock group ) , had cartons of those early CMP rubber tailights ..they were 2$ per light .At the time I thought they were too dear ! That place was a goldmine of bits ... NOS generic US WW2 tailights were $5 new in the box ..

The guy on the counter told me once.."we are scrapping a large container of NOS Stude US6 shock absorbers cos we cannot sell them." they had NOS wiring looms too , for : US WW2 jeep trailers and stude. The NOS stude headlights in cartons .. I used to drill off the bases and bolt on the 1/2 ton WC Dodge bases. The trico generic US WW2 vacuum wiper motors ,all packed up 2 to a box for $10 brand new. new arms and blades were $2. NOS fuel pumps fro the stude and Dodge were $10 . They had White scout car bits too, NOS stuff like instrument cluster and speedometers. This was around 1980.

To elaborate on what Keith has said, there is only one Brake or Stop lamp fitted, inboard of the R side tail lamp. This lights up when the brake pedal is pressed, but the STOP ISOLATION switch disconnects the lamp circuit as a blackout precaution, ie the brakes still operate, but the Stop light does NOT illuminate.

There is also another switch in the TAIL lighting circuit, on Fords a toggle switch near the rear crossmember, and on Chevs a push on/off dip switch on the right rear chassis rail. On both vehicles when the dashboard TAIL light switch is on, this switch switches between the 2 rear red Tail lights and the white Convoy lamp over the rear differential.
