The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay which lenses fit '39

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm sure someone will let me know the answer to my question anyways.I have a '39 1 1/2ton and want to replace the sealed beams with the old lenses and reflector setup.but have had a hard time finding out which years will interchange.can somebody help me out on this one?

Greg, I hav a 39 GMC p/u and I believe the sealed beams came out in 1940 and the headlight buckets are different because the sealed beam does not need a reflector. Your Truck should be series VA thru VD.
P/N for the buckets are R 919476, L 919475
P/N for refector is 919596 (7-1/4 inch OD with parking lamp)
P/N for Lens is 919787 (7-9/16 inch TILTRAY)
P/N for Moulding is 921514
The cork seal is 1/4 x 1/4 x 28 inch. The cork seal can be obtained from McMasters supply, and the spring clips are available from Jim Carter.
Hope that helped.
Jim
