  6. Ok @VANDENPLAS , I'll type slowly so you can follow...
    The question was "...identify year and make....of these HEADLIGHTS..."
    We ALL know they're on a f@$#&*g Dodge! Geeze.... the whole world knows it's (always) a Dodge! Concentrate boy, concentrate. By the way, it's a cool looking Dodge! back to regular programming....

    I hate to admit any chevy parts would make a Dodge look better but boy those headlights are so much better than stock ones!

    Actually ‘42-‘46. The ‘41 Chevy and GMC trucks used a parking light cover assembly borrowed from the 1940 Pontiac cars.

    I'll split the difference with you. Actually/specifically it's '42 - '47. The 41 Pontiac parking light assembly also went into early 42 and the late 42 and 46 parking light went into early 47.

    Those years Dodges have a bad rust problems in the headlight buckets. So, the Chevy lights fixed the ugly and the rust

    Agreed! Really helps the entire front end look good.

    So fitting these things, the curve is a bit different, as i figured, but not terrible. I've never done anything with metal of like this, as far as making 2 different radiuses fit nicely. I'm thinking
    Cut a hole about 1/2" smaller than the GMC headlight assembly. Hammer/dolly a nice curved inward until I get the fit I want. (rolled in) GMC assembly should rest nicely on top. weld new bracketry on bottom of fender. bolt up and wire.
    Am I way off?
