I've been browsing through pictures online and haven't found a grille that matches. Bonus points if you can point me toward replacement headlamps. Extra bonus points if I can find headlamp lenses with a replaceable bulb instead of the original sealed beam. I'll tell you why later.

They might have the headlights. https://www.classicparts.com/defaul...lq5e48AIV9WpvBB36EwjbEAAYAiAAEgL9nfD_BwE I think that's a 1942 3/4 ton Last edited by white17; 05/07/21 02:33 PM. Mean As Nails

It is one of them, IMO. I think some very early 1947's had that same look. Thanks guys, you got me in the right range anyway. According to my research WWII-era trucks (the few that were made) didn't have chrome, but I suspect the chrome parts may have been added to this one later. It also has a 1965 Navy base sticker on it. This truck is a yard ornament at my friend's personal entertainment venue. Actually it's a bar they use to serve drinks. Anyway, he decided it would be cool to have the headlights work as a nightlight. My task is to light up those headlights with 120vAC. I could use the original 6v or 12v lights and put a transformer under the hood, or i could get a standard lamp holder like Loosegoose posted and insert a 120v bulb in it. That's the direction I'm leaning. Thanks Loosegoose Last edited by KenaiKid; 05/07/21 04:49 PM. Originally Posted by Dirt Originally Posted by Rat Masterson Boco couldn't catch a cold.
