Does a 6V, 1940 Chevy Pu have one or two tail lights?
Do the tail lights have one or two bulbs?
What number would the bulbs be?
Thanks,
Mike

The factory original light unit had two bulbs. One for the park/tail light and a second for the brake light.
I don’t have one out right now, but I think they’re a #51, just going by memory
