Hey team - Are the headlight buckets, retainer, & chrome bezel ring the same for the 1.5 & 2 ton trucks? I assume they would be, but I haven't found anything that concretely says so. Compatibility tables online (when available) seem to stop at 3800. The chrome bezel rings that came on the old farm truck had notches for headlight adjustment - something I don't see on most other AD trucks, so I'm not sure they're the appropriate ones. Thanks for your help!

As far as I know, they are all the same, regardless of the weight class. (at least on the Taskforce era, 1/2 ton up through 2 ton are all the same)

According to the parts manual the trim rings are all the same for AD series trucks. I suspect someone cut those notches in that one. The passenger car trim rings were stainless steel and will fit. Identical except for material.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Great, thanks for the info! I suspected they would be for simplicity sake. It looks like these notched bezels were used on other cars & motorcycles (from a reverse-image-search).
