I always see different sizes for sale at swap meets.

The top of the post had a concave ball-joint type of shape. I don't know if it was stock. I bought fog lamp and casing which would mate with the post at a Great Falls swap meet. The 6-volt lamp was burned out but I installed it just for the look. When I went to 12-volt, I found a 12-volt, 5 1/4" lamp that would fit the casing perfectly! NAPA #4412A. Here are pictures of the lamp and the light pattern. I did lower the aim a bit. Fog Light Fog Light Pattern -

Thanks but I was talking about the brochure you posted. Sorry I did not make my question clear. (I edited my previous post).

Please see the link below to photos in my Photobucket album. http://s160.photobucket.com/user/st...20Guide%20fog%20lights?sort=2&page=1Please note that box label reads for "medium and heavy trucks" AND the instruction sheet is from 1946. With that stated, I am not sure how appropriate this set of lights is for the A.D. truck. Nevertheless, I like the look. I am using a vintage lever-type switch that is maroon in color; not the switch in the box. I am also using black wire with a green tracer and not the wire as pictured. Any thoughts…other than me perhaps adding confusion to this topic? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 256 Haunting the SBP since 2001 | | Haunting the SBP since 2001 Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 256 | http://s160.photobucket.com/user/st...20Guide%20fog%20lights?sort=2&page=1 Luke. Sounds like you may have been bamboozled into thinking those Guide 5 3/4" lamps are correct by a slippery ebay seller, as GM part # 929890 {in your pictures} is actually a GM part # listed for the 1939 Chevy cars & trucks. The boxes & the lamps you pictured are definitely not correct for the 1947-1955.1 A.D trucks and the lamps are not correct for the 1939 Chevy. Anyone can cram a set of lamps in an old box & claim they are NOS & correct | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 785 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 785 | Interesting and confusing! Nevertheless, I have these lights on my truck because I like the look/size. Can it be determined for what years the 5-3/4" Guide fog lights were correct for our Stovebolts? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | Thanks for all the information !!!
