What are the correct size headlights? Thanks | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Do you mean what number bulb they use? You already gave the size.  If that was your question and it's still 6v the Filling Station lists this bulb for your application.

Might try Keith Hardy's on line manuals to see if you can spot anything there. His link is in the tech tips. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 843 | Maplefrm, I have a '36 high cab that I have owned since 1965 and restored in the 1970s. I have no computer skills so I don't know how to post pictures here. If you give me your regular email address I will ask my wife to take a photo of my headlights with her digital camera and I will send it to you with dimensions. My email is [email protected]Does your truck have a 3-speed trans? I recently converted my '36 from 4.11 to 3.55 gears using a modified '37 Chevy car rear end and gears from a '51 powerglide equipped Chevy car.

I thought the headlights looked oversize and it seems I was right. This size is correct for the '32-34 Ford. The rear end has a very low gear and is unpleasant for highway use. Another thing to change. Thanks for your help. | | |
